1. When Sally died she left her property equally to her three nieces, Patty, Judy and Mary.

Then Mary sent an email to Patty offering to sell Mary's share of the property for 250,000. The email continued to say if this is agreeable to notify Mary's attorney Teri Hampton before 8:00 p.m. this evening. At 6:00p.m. Betty another cousin sent a message to Mary's attorney saying she accepts the offer. At 7:30p.m. Patty sent an email to Mary that she is willing to buy Mary's share of the property. Mary did not see the email until 10:00 a.m. the next morning and said it is too late she sold the property to Judy. Patty is suing Mary stating they had a contract because she accepted the contract in a timely fashion. Was there a contract between Mary and Patty? Betty and Mary? Judy and Mary? Did Mary's offer specifying a specific method to accept mean that Patty's acceptance was not valid? Why or why not?

1. Tina lived in Rhode Island with her husband, Fred, and two children, Bruce 7 and Claire 5. Fred worked as an over the road trucker and Tina worked as a Beautician. Tina had been working at the same shop for 10 years and had steady customers. Tina's only living relative was her very wealthy grandmother Harriet who lived in Alabama. Harriet moved to. Alabama about 11 years ago. She really missed her granddaughter and great grandchildren and so she wrote to Tina, if your family will moved to Alabama I will buy you a condo on Orange Beach and I will pay for your expenses until you find jobs. Fred and Tina jumped at the chance. It was decided the family would move into Harriet's place until they found a suitable condo. There was tension in the family shortly after Tina and here family moved in with Harriet Tina and her family never cleaned up after themselves leaving trash and dinner dishes everywhere. Most nights the family would not eat what Harriet cooked and would order take out at Harriet's expense. The children were rowdy and disrespectful . Fred laid on the couch and didn't look for a job. Harriet was especially upset that neither Tina or Fred were making any effort to look for a job or find a condo of their own. Finally, Harriet had enough and told them they all had to leave that day. She told them she was not buying them a house and was not supporting them another day. She gave them gas money to get back to New Jersey. Tina and Fred sue Harriet. Was there a contract ? What was the offer and what was the acceptance? What about the concept of justifiable reliance? What does it mean and does apply in this case.
