which Y is interested in buying. X and Y believe that the watch is a genuine

Rolex and both know of each other's belief. When they conclude the contract, Y

Which statement is INCORRECT?

The obligations that

arise from contract, delict, and unjustified enrichment, are always imposed by

law, irrespective of the will of the parties.

100%

The law of contract,

delict, and unjustified enrichment, all relate to the law of obligations.

Breach of contract

and a delict are very similar, in that they both constitute civil wrongs and,

in appropriate circumstances, give rise to a duty to pay damages.

Sometimes, concurrent

contractual and delictual liability can arise, so that the plaintiff may sue on

either basis.

In the absence of a

valid contract, an unjustified enrichment claim may arise when there is a

transfer of wealth from one person’s estate to another person’s estate, without

a good legal ground or cause for this shift.

his gun and points it at Y

, and orders him (Y) to

sign a written contractual document which X already signed as the purchaser. X

explains that the document is for the sale of Y’s car to him (X), at a price of

R30 000. The market value of the car is R250 000. Y, fearing for his life,

signs the document as the seller. If Y proves the requirements for the relevant

cause of action that he (Y) is most likely to pursue, then the contract between

X finds himself stranded in a remote area when his motor vehicle breaks

down. There is no cell phone reception in the area. After five days have passed

without seeing anyone, Y comes along and offers to tow X to the nearest town

for the exorbitant fee of R20 000. X is upset that Y wants to charge such

an excessive amount, but X eventually accepts Y’s offer. X refuses to pay Y

R20 000 after being towed to the town. A reasonable fee for this towing

would have been R5 000, but Y claims the full amount of R20 000 from

X. Regarding this factual scenario, which statement is

CORRECT?

There was no consensus between X and Y to

conclude a contract for R20 000.

Portia and Lucas are

engaged and are living together. They want to purchase Jerome’s car. Jerome has

never met Portia. Jerome offers to sell his car to Lucas for R100 000. Lucas

and Portia accept Jerome’s offer. Which statement is

CORRECT?

The acceptance is

valid, but Jerome can revoke his offer as he did not make an offer to Portia.

This is a very

uncertain area of the law, and there is no case law in South Africa which deals

with this type of issue.

The acceptance was

unqualified, therefore the acceptance was valid.

A valid contract has

been concluded, because Lucas is one of the parties that accepted the offer.

100%

Even though the

acceptance by Lucas was a conscious response to the offer, the acceptance was

not valid.
