Choose two posts from an opponent. Draft arguments that will weaken your opponents' positions:
Mr. Painter was brought on and hired by Ms. Homeowner to engage in work for her home. The work was preceded by a written statement and then verbally agreed to by the two parties. It was only after this understanding that Mr. Painter then purchased the necessary supplies for the work. Throughout the period laid before the labor, the two parties continued to discuss and affirm the work to maintain deadlines. It was not until it came time to pay and begin the work that Ms. Homeowner denied payment. Ms. Homeowner is liable for the materials purchased for the job, as it was a part of not only the initial agreement but every agreement in the following 13 days of the project. It can be argued that because the agreement was not in writing, Ms.Homeowner owes no burden to pay for the materials. Yet, in cases like Lamar Contractors, Inc. v. Kacco, Inc.,(La. App. 4 Cir. 7/1/15), it is affirmed that agreements can be in part written and partly verbal. If Mr. Painter takes legal action, Ms. Homeowner is liable to pay the written estimate that she agreed to and for the negligence in her decision to cancel the work before the materials were purchased.
