For employment with the Firestorm Smokejumpers, a crew of elite paratroopers who parachute into dangerous situation to fight fires, applicants must complete a series of tests. The crew chief sends the most qualified applicants a letter stating that they will be admitted to Firestorm’s training sessions if they pass a medical exam. Jake Kurzyniec receives the letter and passes the exam, but a new crew chief changes the selection process and rejects him. Is there a contract between Kurzyniec and Firestorm? If there is a contract, what type of contract is it? Discuss fully.
In the aforementioned case, there is a clear contract between Kurzyniec and Firestorm as both Kurzyniec and Firestorm had reached an agreement in which there was a promise made in exchange for specified performance. The promise being admission to Firestorm's training session for the specified act of passing a medical exam. As Jake Kurzyniec had received the offer and subsequently passed the exam, this forms a contract. This type of contract is referred to as a unilateral contract.
The new crew chief, therefore, is clearly violating the terms of the contract by making changes to the selection process.
