Question

Pat tells Chris that an exciting concert is coming to town, and he will spend $40 a ticket if Chris will go to the concert with him. Chris is excited, and she tells Pat that she will attend the concert with him and that he can pick her up at her place at eight o’clock the evening of the concert. Pat goes to pick Chris up and finds no one at home. Too embarrassed to attend the concert by himself, he goes home. Worried that something may have happened to Chris, he tries to reach her by telephone. The following day, he contacts her and she informs him that she changed her mind; she did not want to go to the concert with him and did not feel it was necessary to call. Pat becomes very emotionally upset over the rejection. Two days later, he files a lawsuit against Chris for $80 in damages for the two unused tickets to the concert and $500 for his emotional trauma. Which of the following is most likely true:

		Pat would recover the cost of the tickets and emotional trauma
		Pat would recover the cost of the tickets only
		Pat would recover nothing

Answer 1

As is clear from the discussion, That it was Pat who told chris to come with him to attend the concert which is going to happen in the town. It was Pats personal will. Chris was willing to come but unfortunately she did not come to watch the concert. Pat files a case against Chris. But we see that there is no written contract between the two.

So Pat will receive nothing from Chris.

The correct option is (c).

Pat would recover nothing.

Hope you got the answer.

Kindly comment for further explanation.

Thanks!
