Question

Mary enters into an agreement to sell 3 cases of vintage wines at $1,500 per bottle to Audrey. Mark offers to pay Mary $2,500 per bottle. Mary calls Audrey to cancel the contract. If you were Audrey’s attorney what would you advise her to do?

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Mary must review the conditions of the contract with Audrey to find out if by canceling the contract over the phone she is breaching her initial agreement. If so, Audrey could suit her which could imply Mary will have to deliver the cases of vintage wines to Audrey. Then, she should not sell the wines to Mark or anybody else unless Mary is sure she can end the contract with Audrey first without disadvantages.
