Final answer:
April is not entitled to keep the mistakenly delivered flowers without paying because she was not the intended recipient. Therefore, she is obliged to either return the flowers or pay for them.
Step-by-step explanation:
A content loaded scenario has presented a situation where a delivery person came to April's door with a delivery of flowers for Matthew, whom she does not know. April, who lives alone and has no neighbors named Matthew, signs for the flowers and keeps them. Later, when the flower shop manager realizes the mistake, they send the delivery person to retrieve either the flowers or get payment from April. The question is whether April is obligated to give anything to the delivery person.
Under common law principles, April has received goods that were not intended for her, which she knew or should have known. The delivery was mistaken, and she is not entitled to keep the flowers without paying for them because she was not the intended recipient. Therefore, the correct answer is c) April needs to give the flowers back or pay for them. This is akin to instances where a mistake results in a need for renegotiation, as illustrated by the example of Robinson and Friday from the provided parable, where the outcome and attitudes toward repayment are influenced by the initial agreement and subsequent actions.
