Contract law follows the dictates of common sense and fairness was there an agreement that each party agreed to did either party or both fail to do what he or she promised. However, the contract between Jimmy and Aunt Jane is invalid and unenforceable Aunt Jane understood the money was intended for school. Fraud makes the contract unenforceable Jimmy breached the terms of the agreement thus making the contract unenforceable.

A contract can be breached if the people that agreed on or signed it does not follow through with the obligations they agreed to. In the video with Charlie Brown, even though there was a contract, one party did not feel that they were obligated to follow through because it was not notarized. Notarization makes the contract a formal one, but it was considered a simple contract and should have been binding. I purchased a car and thought that I was doing a regular purchase.

If someone does not repay it is usually seen as a sign of disrespect. This is evident in my examples because most of these examples have open-ended deadlines. The deadlines are left open ended because you never know when you need a favor. Also this form of gifting holds power over the receiver because if Leah did not repay me back in some form, or vice versa, I would explain the situation to our mutual friend and we would probably ignore or not invite Leah until I was “repaid” in some fashion. The aspect of disrespect is very prominent in the family setting because if my parents thought I was disrespecting them I would be punished in some form.
