Ms$.$ Gillian Foster was asked to form a company on behalf of some partners. The company, Mask Ltd$,$ would manufacture face masks. Before the company was formed, Ms$.$ Foster took raw materials valued at $$500,000$ on credit from Leeds Ltd in her own name. She had insisted that the following term be included in the contract: $$Ms$.$ Gillian Foster will in any event not be bound by the contract nor entitled to its benefits.$$ Ms$.$ Foster also acquired a sewing machine from Keros Ltd for $$50,000,$ which she paid for by cash and sold it to Mask Ltd for $$75,000,$ after the company was formed but did not tell the company about the details of the acquisition of the sewing machine. Ms$.$ Foster went ahead and filed the necessary documents with the Companies Office of Jamaica and formed the company, Mask Ltd$.$ The company adopted the contract with Leeds Ltd$.$ Mask Ltd faced immense competition from the beginning and failed without selling a single mask. Leeds Ltd is suing Ms$.$ Foster for full payment of $$500,000,$ stating that she was the one who they contracted with and the clause that she insisted on$,$ will have no effect based on the common law rule relating to this matter. Mask Ltd later found out about the cash purchase of the sewing machine by Ms$.$ Gillian Foster and the company is suing Ms$.$ Foster for $$25,000.$
