3. Mary applies for a job writing software code for HP, and HP's standard employment letter requires every employee to agree that they will not work for a competitor of HP within one year after the end of their employment (they don't want to invest in training someone, only to have them use those skills to benefit a competitor). Mary signs that agreement, much later quits her job, takes a one-month vacation, and goes to work for Dell - a competitor of HP. HP can enforce that "non-compete" provision against Mary and prevent her from working for Dell. A) True B) False 1. Tri-Valley Growers plants 1,000 acres of organic lettuce and enters into a contract with Safeway Stores in which Safeway agrees to buy from Tri-Valley, and Tri-Valley agrees to sell to Safeway, all of Tri-Valley's lettuce production for that season at a specified price. Which of the following circumstances would constitute a breach of contract? A) if Safeway buys lettuce from another producer B) if Tri-Valley delivers less than expected because of an insect infestation C) if Tri-Valley sells 15% of its production to Whole Foods at a higher price D) if Tri-Valley produces more than expected because of perfect weather conditions 3. Juan is negotiating to buy a house that is very dilapidated and is being sold "as is." He plans to demolish the house and build a 3-story apartment building on the land and tells the seller of his plan. The seller assures him that the lot is within an area that is zoned for multi-unit residential housing. Juan signs an agreement to buy the property, and a week later, meets with the city's building approvals unit to review his plans. He learns from the building officials that the lot is in an area in which only single-family houses can be built. Juan can probably rescind the purchase contract for intentional misrepresentation. A) True B) False 1. Ann takes care of her ailing mother for three years, and it is very burdensome (daily visits, monitoring her medicines, keeping up her house, helping her take baths, etc.). Ann helps her mother prepare a will that gives all of her assets to Ann and her two sisters, in equal shares. Ann also slips in a document that assigns her mother's car to Ann, and her mother signs that along with her will without reading any of them. If the transfer of the car is challenged, Ann should A) win because a gift promise, once completed, is irrevocable B) win because her mother was capable of reading the document and made a unilateral mistake when she didn't read it C) lose because her mother never intended to make that gift and was led to sign the assignment through fraud D) win because the car is reasonable compensation for her support services
