Unilateral Contract or Gift
walking down the street in New York City, where he saw a man in tattered
clothes on a bench. He said to the man, “If you come around the corner
with me to the clothing store, I’ll buy you a nice suit.” Having nothing
else to do at the time, the man complied. However, when they got to the
clothing store, Mr. Dee changed his mind. The man sued, alleging a unilateral
contract had been formed: Mr. Dee had asked for an act, and the man had
performed it. Discuss whether this was a unilateral contract or a gift.
