Question:
While Mr. Painter provides Ms. Homerowner with a written estimate, it is important to note that written estimate, it is important to note that a written estimate does not necessarily constitute a legally binding contract. Without a signed contract explicity stating the term and condition of the agreement, it may be diffcult for Mr. Painter to prove the existence of a valid contract. Although Mr. Painter Purchaes the paint supples and material, it is crucial to recognize that he did so without obtaining a formal agreement from Ms. Homeowner.It was his decision to procure the material before recevin confirmation or a signed contact, which introduces an element of risk on his part. For a contract to be enforable there must be " considertion". Ms Homwowner informed Mr.s Painter about her decision to cancel the painting job just one day before it was scheduled to begin. Even if there was a valid contract, Ms. Homowner could argue that r. Painter has a duty to mitigate damage.
