QUESTION 1 10 MARKS
Richard, an impoverished university student, and his millionaire father enter into an
arrangement where Richard agrees that he will keep the front- and backyards of the
family property mowed, and he will do a bit to keep the gardens looking tidy. In
return, his father agrees to pay him a weekly allowance of $200. His father had
previously used a garden contractor to do the job and paid him $350. They live on a
one-hectare property, and the mowing alone takes half a day a week. After four
weeks, Richards father tells him that he cant afford to pay $200 a week. He says
that Richard should be doing the work for nothing, as it is the responsibility of the
whole family to look after the property; besides, he says, Richard is getting free
board and lodging.
Advise Richard.
QUESTION 2 10 MARKS
Joe, a well-known film actor, entered into a contract with Frre Bros for a period of

Pictures. Does Frre Bros have any remedy?
