Question

Tiffany owns a health club and contracts to buy a set of weights from Dylan for $10,000. Dylan is hurting financially, so he changes the dollar amount on the contract to $18,000. Before delivering the weights, Dylan attempts to collect the $18,000 from Tiffany who accuses him of trying to cheat her. She has a copy of the contract with the original amount. When they end up in court, the court likely will
Discharges the contract by not enforce the contract at all because of the change made by Dylan. T/F

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Dylan's alteration of the contract terms automatically discharges (terminates) the contract, since the consideration was changed. Dylan's consideration remained the same, providing some set of weights, but Tiffany's consideration was wrongfully and illegally changed by Dylan($18,000 instead of $10,000), so the contract is terminated.
