1. John returns Sarah’s lost Siamese cat
“Sasha”. Sarah has advertised using a poster a reward of £100 but John had not
seen the advertisement. She mentions the reward to him and promises to pay him
at the end of the week. When John returns for the reward she refuses to pay. Explain the legal position.
2. Roisin, a student (and family friend)
is asked by Jenna if she will tutor her daughter for her A-level History
exam. Rosin will be required to go to
Jenna’s house once a week and tutor her and in exchange she will be paid £300,
an average of £20 per hour.
After
2 weeks Jenna says that she is having some financial difficulty and as a result
cannot afford to pay the £20 agreed. She asks Roisin if she will accept £15
instead. Roisin is not keen, but needs
the money so eventually agrees.
A
further 2 weeks later Roisin says that the situation is not working as she is having
to get a bus there and it is costing too much.
Jenna agrees to pay her an additional £3 to cover this cost if she
agrees to come.
After
the daughter has sat the exam Roisin asks for the money. She is given £200 only and told that she
wasn’t a very good teacher and should be glad she is being paid at all.
Advise
Roisin.
3. Louisa has received a judgment against
her estranged ex-husband Dan. He is to pay her £50,000 to cover costs from
their marriage.
Dan
is not wealthy and asks Louisa if he gives her £30,000 and he can pay the rest
in a year’s time. She agrees.
In
a year’s time Dan can only give her £15,000 and she accepts that saying that
she will not request any more money off him.
Following
that a dispute arose over who would receive the family dog and Louisa has now
sued him for the £5,000 plus interest.
Advise
Dan.
