Question

As part of an advertising campaign, a plane flew over the beach in Ocean City trailing a banner that read: "Boardwalk Bistro will give 100 to the first person to swim from the inlet at 1st Street to Bistro's at 33rd street." Daisy was a very strong swimmer and accepted the challenge. When she got to 25th Street, however, the plane appeared again with a banner that read: "Bistro withdraws its offer." Which statement best describes Daisy's and Bistro's rights in this situation?

Answer 1

Bistro's first banner was a form of a unilateral contract. This means that the banner was a legally enforceable promise between two parties where one party will perform the requirement and the other (Bistro) would pay.

For the given situation, Daisy substantially performed the required task and therefore, Bistro is not allowed to revoke the offer.

Based on the above, the statement that best describes Daisy's and Bistro's rights in this situation is:
Bistro cannot revoke the offer because Daisy has substantially performed the requested action.
