Question:
Annie was a cyber security expert and had her own consulting business. Super Nice Co was one of Annie's regular clients. Shortly after entering into a contract with Super Nice Co. to provide advice on their new e-commerce platform, Annie was diagnosed with a rare neurological disease that would disable her very rapidly. Because of Annie's situation and the excellent service she had provided to Super Nice Co in the past, Super Nice Co's president decided to write off the whole of the $30,000 they had advanced her, which was to cover the investigatory and recommendation stages of her work for them, even though failure to perform could be cause for rescission of the contract.
A week later, Super Nice Co's president resigned. The new president decided to review Annie's consulting contract and discovered the previous president's decision to write off the $30,000. The new president wants to know if she can revoke the company's promise and demand the $30,000 back from Annie. Please advise the new president. Provide the legal reason(s) for your answer.
