Oliver found some cozy-looking winter gloves for a great price in a catalog. He decided to purchase a pair for himself and additional pairs for every member of his extended family. He mailed in the order form, along with a check. Two weeks later the catalog company informed Oliver that it had run out of gloves and would not charge him. Oliver sues. What will result?

Answer: The company will win if it is able to prove that was acting in good faith.

Step-by-step explanation:

In contract law, acting in good faith means that both parties were acting honestly when they signed a mutual contract. If the company shows that, the court will agree and Oliver will lose the case.
