Carter Morley andErenaErickson live side by side in town homes joined together by a shared
wall. Both residences are in need of new exterior paint. On Monday, Morley calls a painter, Tom
Sizemore, having selected his name from the classified section of the phone directory. Morley
describes his address, the physical dimensions and structure of his home, and he agrees with
Sizemore that the work will be performed that Friday. Sizemore estimates that with his crew of
five, and given the relatively small size of the home, the work will only take one day to
complete. Morley advises that although he will have to work a fourteen-hour day on Friday, he
would like to have the work completed in his absence. In passing conversation with his neighbor
Erickson, Morley advises her of his “home improvement” plans.
Early Friday morning, Sizemore and his team arrive at the address, but by mistake, they begin
work on Erickson’s side of building. AlthoughErenais home, she does not object to the work, nor
does she inform Sizemore and his crew of the mistake. Midway through the day, she offers them
fresh-squeezed lemonade and ham sandwiches, and they heartily accept.
Upon completion of the work at 7:00 p.m. Friday evening, Sizemore knocks onErena’sdoor and
asks if “the man of the home” is present, that he would like Morley to review the work and pay
the agreed-upon price for the work.Erenachuckles, and “breaks the news” that the painting crew
has made a mistake, one to her benefit. Erickson proclaims “I do not owe you one dime, because
you do not have a contract with me; I will give you ten minutes to remove yourself and your
materials from my property, or I will call the police.”
Do Erickson and Sizemore have a contract? If so, why? If not, are there any other theories of
recovery available to Sizemore?
Solution
Fictional contract refers to the contract forced by the court as a legal process to prevent injustice.
It is forced in favor of persecuted party and against the party who get an undue advantage at the
expenses of the other.
Hence, Erickson and Sizemore has fictional contract.
