Question

shelly offers to sell jane goods both parties know are stolen. jane accepts the offer, and agrees to pay for the goods. later, jane refuses to accept or pay for the goods. if shelly sues jane for breach of contract, what is the probable result?
shelly would win as this is a valid, enforceable contract.
jane would win as this is a voidable contract.
shelly would win as this is a unilateral contract.
the law would not enforce janes promise, as it does not have a lawful purpose.

Explanation:

A valid contract requires a lawful purpose. Here, the goods are stolen, so the contract lacks a lawful purpose. A voidable contract is one that can be canceled (e.g., due to fraud, but not applicable here). A unilateral contract is one - sided (e.g., a reward offer, not relevant here). Since the contract is for stolen goods, it's not enforceable.

Answer:

The law would not enforce Jane's promise, as it does not have a lawful purpose.
