Question

To whom it may concern,

I would like to thank you in advance for helping me with this question.

Please follow this sample of the format that I provide below to answer the question.

Here are the sample question and answer format.

Question. On May 1, John Realty Company offered to sell a real estate parcel called Greenacre to Dallas, Inc, for $1,000,000. The offer was made by telegraph and stated that the offer would expire on May 15. Dallas decided to purchase the property and sent a registered letter to John on May 10 accepting the offer. As a result of unexplained delays in the postal service, the letter was not received by John until May 22. John wishes to sell Greenacre to another buyer who is offering $1,200,000 for the tract of land. Has a contract resulted between John and Dallas? Please explain.

Answer. On May 1, John Realty Company made an offer to sell real property known as Greenacre to Dallas, Inc. This offer had an expiration date of May 15. Dallas sent a formal acceptance to John Realty Company on May 12, well within the expiration deadline of the offer. The acceptance took the form of a registered letter. The letter of acceptance, however, was not received until well beyond the expiration date. In this instance, a valid contract was formed on May 12.

Statement of Law and explanation. The law states that when a reliable medium is used in sending an acceptance, the acceptance is valid when it is sent. It has also been well established that a registered mail qualifies as a reliable medium. For these reasons when the letter of acceptance was sent by Dallas, Inc on May 12, a valid contract came into existence on that date. The fact that the actual acceptance did not reach the offeror until May 22 does not matter. The important point is that the acceptance was sent and took effect within the deadline.

Here is the actual question that I need help with.

2. Henderson owed Daniels, a police captain, $50,00. Henderson instructed Danielson to discharge the debt against him or Henderson would disclose facts that would endanger his position with the police department. Daniels responded by giving Henderson a release from the debt, but later sued to recover the amount that due him. Will Daniels succeed? Please explain.

Again, I deeply thank you for helping me with this question.

Answer 1

The answer to whether Danielson will succeed or not is that he can and he cannot also. He can in a way that its not mentioned that whether Henderson had any proof against Danielson or not. Even if he had known some facts that can be proved wrong in the court by Danielson as he is a police captain and it is easier for him to disapprove of those facts.
He cannot succeed in a way that he asked Henderson to release that debt if Henderson had the call records on his phone then it can easily prove that Danielson was guilty because of which he paid a certain amount but now he is suing him out of no reason.
