Question

I tell you that if you rake all the leaves in my yard, I will show up to Business Law class next week. You immediately come over and start raking the leaves. Halfway through the job you decide to leave to do some extra Business Law reading for fun. I run after you and say, "you didn’t finish, I will sue you for this!" Your best defense is:

Answer 1

Answer: d. There was no valid consideration

Step-by-step explanation:

Valid consideration is a clause in contract law that states that the contract cannot be valid if both sides did not make a promise to fulfil some duty to each other.

You made a promise that you would come to Business Law class if I raked the yard, however, I never made a promise that I would rake the yard if you came to class. There was therefore no valid consideration.
