Upon graduating from college, Kathy announced her plans to enter law school the following fall and to marry Rick in December. Kathy's father was afraid that marriage during her first year in law school might cause her to fall behind in her studies or cause her to drop out of school. He called Kathy and promised her $10,000 if she postponed her wedding until after completion of her first year of law school. Kathy agreed and postponed the wedding for a year. Kathy successfully completed her first year of law school, but soon thereafter, Kathy's father died. The administrator of her father's estate claimed she was not entitled to the $10,000 because there was no consideration for her father's promise. If Kathy sues the estate, she will probably be:
(a)- successful, as there was consideration
(b)- Un-successful, as there was consideration
(c)- successful, as there was non-consideration
(d)- None of these

Respuesta :

Answer:

A). Successful, as there was consideration.

Explanation:

As per the given situation, if Kathy sues the estate, she would probably be successful as there was consideration of her father's promise that if she postpones her wedding until the first year of law school, she would be entitled to $10,000 which she agreed to. Since Kathy's father's promise is supported by her consideration thus, she would win the case against the estate and receive $10000 as the entitled amount after fulfilling her father's condition. Hence, option A is the answer.
