Question

Jayla was the president and 25 percent owner of two companies that served the Uptown Mall. At the request of the mall owner, Jayla helped arrange the mall's sale to Saber Inc. To ensure continuity in mall operations, Saber offered to hire Jayla as vice president of its retail division. The terms they allegedly negotiated included a five-year term of employment, renewable for another five years, with termination at the option of either party on six months' written notice. Jayla wrote some of the terms up in a letter that Saber orally agreed to but never signed. Jayla worked for Saber for 11 months and then was fired without notice. Can Jayla enforce the contract?

A Thumbs Up! Would be really helpful for me. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Yes, Jayla can enforce the contract as the terms which were allegedly negotiated by Jayla and Saber Inc. includes a 5-year term of employment and renewable for another 5 years and termination on a six-month notice. It was duly accepted by both parties. And she wrote a letter including her terms which was orally accepted by the Saber inc. but not signed. But she was terminated after 11 months without any notice which states that it is a wrong activity perform against Jayla as she can't be removed from the post without any notice. The terms which she was having were some additional terms that were orally agreed by the Saber inc. It has no link to her termination. She can successfully enforce the contract as they both are considered to be in a contract.
