ETHICS Sixteen-year-old Travis Mitchell brought his 19-year-old Pontiac GTO into M&M Precision Body and Paint for body work and a paint job. M&M did the work and charged

$1,900, which Travis paid. Travis later complained about the quality of the work and M&M did some touching up, but Travis was still dissatisfied.

Travis demanded his $1,900 back, but M&M refused to give it back because all the work was

“in” the car and Travis could not return it to the shop. The state of Nebraska, where this occurred, follows the majority rule on this issue. Does Travis get his money? What is the common-law rule? Who ought to win? Is the common-law rule fair? What is the rationale for the rule?
