Mary, a keen pottery collector, saw a notice in the Daily News for an auction at James Pottery Limited on September 30th 2022. She traveled 300 kilometers to attend the auction in order to bid for a particularly rare item the “Mozart Pottery”, specifically mentioned in the list of items to be auctioned. However, when she got to the auction site, she found a notice stating that the auction had been canceled.
Mary thereafter proceeded to a nearby antique shop and saw on display in the window, the identical “Mozart Pottery” priced at $10,000. Mary told the shop owner, Anthony, that she was only willing to pay $8,000 for it. However, Anthony indicated that he is willing to sell the pottery for $9,500. Mary then indicated to him that she desires some time to think it over and after lunch, she will advise him. Anthony subsequently, agreed not to sell the identified pottery, until she return after lunch.
However, Anthony forgot his promised to Mary and sold it to John for $9,500 before lunchtime. When Mary returned after lunch to purchase the pottery, Anthony advised her of his actions and apologized for not keeping his promise. Mary was very upset and is seeking legal recourse for Anthony’s actions.
In the context of contract law, advise Mary whether she can take any action against Anthony, for selling the pottery to John.

As he was actually in need of a haircut and shave, Karl dropped by the barber shop, which was also located in the same shopping centre. When he arrived at the shop and presented his flyer to one of the barbers, he was told that there had been an error in the statement of price on the flyer - it was supposed to be $22 and not $12.
