Answer 1
Peter gave Sally an engagement ring and proposed her, however, after few days; Sally
refused to marry him and threw the ring given by Peter in the ocean. Peter had to hire a
submarine to search for the ring in the ocean floor but failed to find it. As the ring was his
personal property, Personal Property Law and Civil Law both are applicable in this condition
and Peter can sue Sally, as she threw her ring in the ocean for where it was impossible to be
collected back (Justia, 2018). If she did not want to marry him, she should have given the ring
back to Peter instead of throwing it in the ocean. However, it was a gift but, if she refused to
marry him, she had no right over the possession of ring and should have immediately
returned to Peter (Britannica, 2018).
