INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT

Dr. Albert has for some years run a clinic offering free medical care to impoverished families.
The clinic occupies a house owned by Ms. Cade and leased from her on a month-to-month
basis. On May 1 2013, Dr. Albert met with Ms. Cade to ask if she would like to sell him the
house. "I'd consider selling it for RM200,000," she replied.
"I think that I can raise RM200,000 if you give me six months," said Dr. Albert. "But I will
need to show potential donors proof that I can buy the house at that price."
"I'll be glad to help on that count," smiled Ms. Cade. "I have a soft spot for your clinic, you
know." She gave Dr. Albert a signed note reading as follows:

In return for all that Dr. Albert has done for our community, I hereby promise that if he
delivers RM200,000 to me at any time between now and November 1 of this year, I
will give him title to the building that houses his clinic.
Dr. Albert thanked Ms. Cade, took the note, and set to work raising the required money. In
the meantime, real estate prices soared. On September 1, Ms. Cade told Dr. Albert that she
was putting the house on the market. "I've raised RM180,000 and will have the rest soon!"
he insisted.
On October 1, Dr. Albert proudly presented Ms. Cade with a check for RM200,000 and
requested the title to the clinic building. With some embarrassment, she told him that she no
longer held the title. "I just sold the house for RM350,000."
Advise Dr. Albert's rights as against Ms. Cade under the law of contracts.




















GROUP ASSIGNMENT

Pearl, Jade & Diamond decided to form a limited company. The company will be involved in
the entertainment business providing models and dancers for the industry. In the meantime,
they entered into a contract of employment with Tyra. Tyra is to act as their event manager.
The terms of the contract states that Tyra will be paid RM10,000 a month and will continue
to work with the company once the company has been formed, for a period of three years.

Three months later, a company known as CayoteUgly Bhd (CUB) was formed. CUBs MOA
expressly states that the business of the company is to provide services for fashion and
dance shows, promotional campaigns and product launches, talent casting and paperdoll
shows. In their first Board of Directors (BOD) meeting, CUB decided to issue their shares to
the public. In the same meeting, the directors have decided to terminate Tyras employment
prematurely.

Giselle subscribes 30,000 units of shares of CUB. Six months later, the BOD have decided
that the company should venture into new businesses. The businesses that they have in
mind are manufacturing and selling beauty products and liquor. For this purposes, CUB
entered into a contract to purchase three pieces of land, to be developed into factories, from
SlipperyWhenWet Sdn Bhd (SWW). The contract was entered into on the 1
st
of February
2004. Under the contract, SWW is to transfer the land to CUB on the 21
st
of March 2005 and
CUB is to pay the purchase price (RM900,000) upon completion of the transfer.

On the 1
st
of January 2005, Giselle found out about the contract between CUB and SWW
and she is extremely unhappy with the companys expansion plan as she is a muslim and
doesnt want to be associated with a company that manufacture and sells liquor.

Based on the above facts, decide:

a. whether Tyra would be successful in her action against CUB for breach of
contract; and

b. whether Giselle would be able to restraint the company from carrying on the
business of manufacturing and selling liquor.
