LIAM AND CARA

In October 2021, Cara started a business as an independent marketing company. Caras brother Liam said he would give her 2,000 if she marketed his business in the local area and to assist her with starting up her business.

However, by the summer of 2022, her business had become a huge success and she had a number of other clients. She had also completed the marketing for Liam too.

As Caras business had now become a huge success, Liam felt that he should not have to pay the 2,000 to her. Liam said he would not pay anything now, as he was helping his sister to start her business up by offering her 2,000.
