Jay faints while visiting an amusement park, and hits his head on a wooden

bench. Management of the amusement park calls an ambulance, which takes

about 10 minutes to pick Jay up and then take him to the hospital for evaluation.

During this 10 minutes time, Jay's friend Billy-Bob has Jay sign a form, to sell his

very valuable antique car (worth about $50,000) to Billy-Bob for only $2,000.

Billy-Bob takes the car keys out of Jay's coat, and drives off with the car.

While Jay is in the ambulance, he becomes unconscious, and is admitted to the

hospital with a brain concussion. The next day, Jay wakes up in the hospital,

but he remembers nothing about where his car is, or why he has $2,000 in his

pocket! Jay is discharged from the hospital, and has to take a taxi home. Two

days later, he receives a bill from the hospital for $10,000 for "services rendered"

o him.

10. Does Jay have to pay the hospital?

A. No - because Jay never entered into a services contract with the hospital.

B. Yes - this is an example of a contract "implied by law" because Jay was

unconscious at the time he was brought in and treated.

11. Does Jay lose his car to Billy-Bob?

A) Jay has a binding contract with Billy-Bob.

B) Jay should be able to get out of this "agreement" based on "illegality"

C) Jay should be able to get out of this "agreement" based on "lack of

proper form"
