On Friday, Comfort visited Elis hairdressing salon, because she wanted her hair to look special for a party she was going to that evening. When Eli had finished, Comfort was so pleased with what she had done that she said that she would give Eli an extra GHS40. She then found that she did not have enough money with her to do so, and said she would call in on Monday to give it to Eli. On Saturday, Comfort agreed with her friends Stoneboy and Shatta, that they would go to the local greyhound racing track that evening. When they were on their way to the track Shatta said: if any of us makes a killing, lets say more than GHS100 over the evening, how about we share the winnings? The others both agreed that this was a good suggestion. At the track, Stoneboy was lucky in all his bets, and at the end of the evening had won GHS600. He then denied that he had agreed to share his winnings, and refused to make any payment to Comfort and Shatta. On Sunday, Comfort visited her neighbor, an elderly man called Gideon. Gideon was lonely because his wife had gone to visit relatives in Tamale, and would be away for a month. James said that if Comfort would come and sit with him every Sunday afternoon while his wife is away, he would, in return for her kindness, give her his valuable grandfather clock, which he knew that Comfort had always admired, but which Gideons wife had always disliked.
On Monday, Comfort seeks your advice as to:
i. Whether she is obliged to pay the GHS40 to Eli (Since Comfort is now short of money after her visit to the Safari bet)
ii. Whether she can compel Stoneboy to pay her a share of his winnings
iii. Whether Gideons promise to give her the clock is legally binding. (40 Marks)
