I agree with the ruling, Lucy was led to believe that the agreement that was entered into was a binding contract. Zehmer admitted that he was not vocal regarding the supposed joke. The defendant, whispering to a third party or sharing what he might have thought later is not a clear declaration of intent. If Lucy had a fair belief that Zehmer had the requisite intent to enter into the agreement even if he did not, the contract is still enforceable (Bachanan, 2021). According to the case facts, there was no warrant to the defendants' position that the agreement sought to be enforced was signed in jest or that it was not intended by either party to be a binding contact. The terms of the contract along with the circumstances of its declaration clearly showed that the transaction was one of genuine business (Bachanan, 20211
