Hypotheticals

Family Promises
Hamer but nephew fails to abstain from smokingdrinkingswearingandgambling until 21. Can Uncle sue nephew?
 * No, he cannot. Contract was unilateral

Illusory Promises
Wood but Wood Promises Lady Duff $10,000 and half profits? Then he does nothing -- no profits earned?
 * Perhaps court will not read in an implied promise protecting the seller form Wood's potentially making no profit? If so, is Lady Duff entitled to anything? something comparable to past profits? Is the 10K a deposit?

Reliance
Scothorn, but she buys a horse?
 * depends on era - maybe no reliance under "meeting of minds" but under second restatement, yes. However damages may be adjusted.

Restitution
Paint wrong house?

Build on wrong property?

contractor built bathroom for parents of bankrupt lady? Bleeding guy on roadside:
 * rest. b/c they reasonably could have stopped it, makes enrichment more unjust.
 * Sokolow gives medical aid
 * No rest. heroes aren't normally paid. Professionals are.
 * Sokolow drives to hospital and then sues estate for bloodstains
 * maybe under torts? No implicit bargain ride in exchange for clean seats?? ASK??
 * Taxi driver drives to hospital
 * not a "professional," but maybe rest.
 * Sokolow drafts a will
 * probably similar enough to case (ADD LINK), rest.
