Debbie owned and operated a party supply compa

ny called "Partyline." Debbie had recently expanded her inventory of tables and chairs that she offered for rent, so she placed the following advertisement in the local newspaper on June 1: "Partyline can fill all you party needs! We have r ecently expanded our inventory of rental tables and chairs, so we are offering a on e month special on rentals for the month of June. We will rent tables and/or chairs for the low price of $1 per table or chair per day! Call 555-RENT for more information." Pete saw the advertisement. Since he was pla nning a garden party in his yard on June 25, he called 555-RENT on June 3 and spoke with Debbie. In the course of the conversation Pete said, "Your rental prices are very affo rdable!" "That's true!" replied Debbie, "we have the best rates in town." Pete then said, "I am planning a garden party on June 25. I am not sure how many people will be attending, but I think I will need to rent tables and chairs for that day for 100 people."

Debbie replied, "I just need to double-check to make sure we will have enough tables and chairs available, but I am quite sure wecan provide you with tables and chairs for 100 guests." "No problem," Said Pete, "you can let me know sometime within the next two weeks." Between June 3 and 6 Debbie received a large numberof bookings to rent tables and chairs. She came to the conclusion that she would be unable toagree to any additional rentals for the month of June. On June 7 Debbie took out a second advertisement in the local newspaper which stated the following: "Partyline is no longer able to honor its June rental special. Please contact us for your July party needs." On June 12 Pete called Debbie and told her thathe was counting on the table and chair rentals for his garden party. "Didn't you see the June 7 ad?" said Debbie. "What ad?" replied Pete. When Debbie described the June 7 ad Pete replied, "That is unacceptable! I have100 guests coming on June 25 and I need a place for them to sit and eat their lunch!"

Debbie apologized butsaid she would be unable to provide Pete with the table and chair rentals.

Does Pete have an enforceable contract with Debbie?

What law will govern UCC or common law?

What are the issues in the facts?
