Chad Parker owned an acre of property and a mobile home on that property. He sold the mobile home to David and Allison Wilson for $1,000 and sold the property to them for $10,000. These agreements were made orally. No title or deed transfers took place. The Wilsons lived in the mobile home for seven years, making $11,228.19 of improvements to the structure and to the property. After a falling out between Chad and David, Chad had the Wilsons evicted and moved back into the mobile home. Because there was no written contract between the parties, could Chad therefore legally evict the Wilsons and legally move back into the mobile home?

At the time of purchase the farm was used to grow apples and Peter continued to grow apples on the farm, employing a full-time manager for this purpose.As a result of the Black Summer bushfires in 2019/2020 however, most of the apple trees and packing sheds on Peter’s farm were destroyed.

Durick Insurance (Durick). Two months prior to the expiration of the policy, Durick notified Andrus that the building should be insured for $48,000 (or 80 percent of the building’s value), as required by the insurance company. Andrus replied that (1) he wanted insurance to match the amount of the outstanding mortgage on the building (i.e., $24,000) and (2) if Durick could not sell this insurance, he would go elsewhere. Durick sent a new insurance policy in the face amount of $48,000 with the notation that the policy was automatically accepted unless Andrus notified him to the contrary. Andrus did not reply. However, he did not pay the premiums on the policy. Durick sued Andrus to recover these premiums. Discuss who wins? Provide justification for your argument/position.arrow_forward
