When Jane comes home from work one evening, she sees a painting crew begin to paint her
Question:
When Jane comes home from work one evening, she sees a painting crew begin to paint her garage. She had not spoken with anyone about painting her garage, but remembers that her next-door neighbors had recently contracted to have their garage painted. She assumes the paint crew must be mistaken. Without saying anything, Jane goes inside and allows the paint crew to keep working. When they finish, they request payment. Jane refuses to pay for the work because she did not ask anyone to paint her garage. Which of the following answer choices is most accurate?
There is no contract, so the painters are not entitled to any payment.
This is a unilateral contract and Jane must pay the price requested by the painters.
There is no contract, but the painters will likely be awarded a sum of money if they sue alleging quasi-contract.
This is a bilateral contract and Jane must pay the price requested by the painters.
