\n On the day before winter semester, Betty came to Henderson College to pay her student fees. Her boyfriend Yoshi came with her, as he was also interested in studying at the college.\u00a0After he talked with Student Services and picked up some brochures, Betty showed him around the campus, and\u00a0they had lunch in the student lounge.\u00a0That morning, there was a heavy snowfall. After the College staff cleared the front entrance at 8:00 a.m., it continued to snow through the day, and no one came out to clear the snow. As Yoshi and Betty had lunch, the snow turned to rain, and then froze, creating a layer of ice in front of the main entrance.\u00a0On her way out the door, Betty slipped on the ice outside of the entrance. She grabbed on to Yoshi, and they both fell onto the hard concrete, Yoshi banging his head. He appeared to be breathing but unconscious.\u00a0At that moment, Davinder, a mail carrier for Canada Post, walked up the stairway to deliver mail to the College. Turning to look at Yoshi and Chika, he also fell on the ice.\u00a0\u00a0Betty called an ambulance, and half an hour later, the three of them were warming up in the hospital.

\n Topic: Offer and Acceptance*\n <\/p>\n
\n Background:\n <\/p>\n
\n Speedy Sales Inc. (SS) owned several new office buildings in New Westminster. On October 10, SS sent a letter to Elephant Enterprises Ltd. (EE) offering to sell the lots for $1 million each ($1,000,000 CAD).\u00a0The letter stated: \u201cThis offer is available until October 20, and the offeree must accept by letter mail.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n EE\u2019s owner Ellie Elephant received the letter on October 12. After thinking for a few days, she asked her secretary Jill to draft a letter to SS on October 15, offering to buy 3 of the lots for $975,000 each. Jill placed the letter in the mailbox on October 17.\n <\/p>\n
\n When Samantha Speedy, owner of SS, received the letter on October 19, she immediately called EE to speak with Ellie. Ellie was not available to speak on the phone, so Samantha left a message with Jill, stating that SS was rejecting the counteroffer, and would not sell the lots for less than $1 million each.\n <\/p>\n
\n As soon as Ellie came back from lunch, Jill informed her that EE\u2019s counteroffer had been rejected. Ellie asked Jill to write a second letter to SS, offering to accept the original price of $1 million for each of the 3 lots. Jill typed up the letter and put it in the mailbox that afternoon, October 19.\n <\/p>\n
\n When SS received the letter on October 22, Samantha immediately sent an e-mail back to EE stating, \u201cWe regret to inform you that the lots you were interested in have already been sold.\u201d Ellie was disappointed and wondered if Samantha had broken the law by selling to a different buyer.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u2014Case CTopic: Capacity to Contract*Background:\n <\/p>\n
\n Jun attended a reunion with some old classmates at their friend Imani\u2019s house, five years after they graduated from college together. Jun had a few drinks while talking with Ted, an old friend from his Business Law class.\n <\/p>\n
\n Ted was excited to show Jun pictures of his boat named Cryptocurrent. Ted said that he had been sailing around the world with it in recent months, but wanted to upgrade to a larger boat, so he was looking for a buyer for Cryptocurrent. His asking price was 1 Bitcoin (BTC). He showed the contract to Jun, who said, \u201cWow! I\u2019d love to buy it, but I only have one Bitcoin that I\u2019m keeping as a long-term investment.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Jun was feeling hungry and lightheaded, as he hadn\u2019t eaten since breakfast, so he excused himself to the kitchen. Inside the refrigerator, he found what appeared to be a chocolate brownie. Thinking no one wanted it, he ate the brownie, then opened another beer, and returned to his conversation with Ted.\n <\/p>\n
\n Half an hour later, Jun felt like the room was spinning, so decided to lie down on the\u00a0couch for a while. Ted said, \u201cYou don\u2019t look so good. Imani, get him some water.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Imani went to the fridge to pour a glass of water for Jun. \u201cSay,\u201d she called out, \u201cdid someone eat my brownie? That was medical cannabis, prescribed by my doctor for my chronic pain. I\u2019m only supposed to eat half a piece at once\u2026\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Jun woke up the next morning. He couldn\u2019t remember how he had ended up on the couch. All the other guests were gone. Looking on Imani\u2019s table, he was shocked to see a contract for purchase of Ted\u2019s boat, Cryptocurrent, signed by Ted and himself, in exchange for 1.0 BTC. Jun recognized his own signature, but the handwriting looked unusually sloppy.\n <\/p>\n
\n Jun decided to contact you, his lawyer, for legal advice.\n <\/p>\n
