Answer: No contract exists due to mutual mistake of fact as to the existence or identity of the subject matter of the contract.

Explanation:

Breach of contract is legal cause of action and a type of civil wrong, whereby a binding agreement or bargained-for exchange was not honored by one or more of the parties to the agreement in the contract by non-performance or an interference with the other party's performance.

In this scenario, the buyer cannot sue for breach of contract when the goods failed to arrive on time because no contract exists due to the mutual mistake of fact as to the existence or the identity of the subject matter of the contract. There was a mistake regarding the ship "Peerless". A party had in mind the one coming by October while the other party had the one coming in December in mind. Due to this error, no contract existed.

New Jersey v. TLO is the case would most likely be cited by his lawyer.

<h3>What is New Jersey v. TLO?</h3>

According to the Juvenile Court's ruling, a school official may check a student if they have a reasonable suspicion that a violation has been or is being committed, or if they have a good basis to think that the search is required to uphold school rules or maintain discipline. The Court determined that the school administrator's search did not violate the Fourth Amendment after applying this criterion to the circumstances of this case. T.L.O. received a one-year probationary period after being deemed delinquent.

Remanded the matter back to the Juvenile Court to determine whether T.L.O. had intentionally & voluntarily waived her Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. Affirmed the Juvenile Court's finding that there was no Fourth Amendment violation.
