Question

James is in an art gallery when Mitch, who has no special art expertise, points to a painting and says, "That artist is so good. That piece will be worth a fortune in a few years!" James buys the painting, which does not turn out to be valuable. James tries to return the painting and recover his purchase price. A court will:

a. order the art gallery to pay James the full purchase price.
b. order Mitch to pay James the full purchase price.
c. enforce the contract between James and the art gallery.
d. enforce the contract between James and the art gallery, but order Mitch to pay James the full purchase price.

Answer 1

c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the court will enforce the contract between James and the art gallery. This is because a purchase is final and the store was not responsible for giving James false hope/information. Therefore unless the store has a specific return policy then the court will enforce the contract (purchase).
