Question $2$

The manager of BP Petroleum Company limited is seeking police protection for the duration of a strike, called by the Trade Union, who are protesting for increases in emoluments for their members$-$ employees of BP$.$ The Police suggested that a mobile patrol would be adequate, but the HR manager of BP insisted on permanent police presence, because of pending lawlessness by strikers. The manager then offered to compensate the Police, if they agree on a permanent Police presence on site, during the strike period.

The Police agreed to provide $10$ officers at a rate of $$500$ per day, per officer, which they will maintain during the entire strike period.

BP later agreed with the Trade Union$$s demand for increase emoluments and the strike was called off after $5$ days. The Commissioner of Police within a week sent an invoice to BP for the $5$ days that the Police provided protection.

Jill did not pay her rent for $3$ months and Jacob sought to enforce the right to terminate the rental agreement and sue for the outstanding rent. Jill has indicated that she will not pay any outstanding rent and told Jacob that his contract with her was illegal bearing in mind that she was using the apartment for the illegal purpose of prostitution.
