Issue:
The issue in the case is whether Brad has a valid breach of contract suit against Sally.
Rules:
Contract is a legally enforceable written document with all the terms and conditions
explicitly mentioned in the contract along with the consideration. The elements of contract are:
 Agreement: this means that the offer and acceptance is an important element for the
determination of the meeting of minds of the parties.
 Consideration: the exchange for which one party is entering into the contract with another
for the fulfillment of the contractual obligation is the consideration (Enright 2007)
(Hamer vs. Sidway [1891] 124 NY 538). The value of consideration differentiates the
contract from volunteering.
 Legal capacity: the parties should have the legal capacity like age, and mental soundness
to enter into the contract.
 Lawful purpose: this means that the purpose for the contract formulation, including the
contractual obligation and the consideration should be lawful in nature otherwise the
contract may be rendered as void ab initio or voidable like the situations of betting and
contingent contract.
The doctrine of promissory estoppel is enforceable when one party promises to fulfill the
obligation offered by the other party at the agreed consideration such promise binds the parties in
future (Central London Property Trust Ltd vs. High Trees House Ltd [1947] KB 130). Any loss
or damage incurred by the aggrieved party due to non-fulfillment of promise is actionable in the
