Question- Case Study- 2-
Richard, an impoverished university student, and his millionaire father enter into an
• arrangement where Richard agrees that he will keep the front- and backyards of the
• family property mowed, and he will ‘do a bit’ to keep the gardens looking tidy. In return,
• his father agrees to pay him a weekly allowance of $200. His father had previously 
used a
• garden contractor to do the job and paid him $350. They live on a one-hectare 
property,
• and the mowing alone takes half a day a week. After four weeks, Richard’s father tells 
him
• that he can’t afford to pay $200 a week. He says that Richard should be doing the 
work
• for nothing, as it is the responsibility of the whole family to look after the property;
• besides, he says, Richard is getting free board and lodging. Advise Richard.


Answer- Case Study- 2
Issues: The agreement between Richard and his father comes under the 
category of social or domestic contracts. Issue involved here is about the 
validity of contract between Richard and his Father and Richard claim his 
money from him?
Law: For any agreement to be legally binding the parties must have the 
intention to create a legal relationship. This is the third essential ingredient of a 
valid contract. But the Law presumes that the domestic or social agreements 
do not have this intent to legal bind it. However it can be presented before the 
court that there exists the intention of legally binding each other but it is very 
difficult to reverse the presumption of law. [ Asif, 2009] It is also presumed that 
the domestic contract between parent and child is not intended to be legally 
binding and it was held in the case of Jones v Padvattan.
Conclusion: Therefore Richard is entitled for the payment for his labor of four 
weeks, he can move to the court of law to enforce his right against his father


But the situation will be different when parties express their clear intention of 
making the contract legally binding enter into the contract.
Application: Richard agreed to mow the front land and garden of his house and 
in return his father will give him $ 200. This amount may be treated as the 
consideration of the contract between them. The work needed much time and 
labor. Richard relying on the statement of his father started doing the work. In 
contractual terms he was performing his part of contract and after four weeks of 
his labor his father refused to pay the agreed amount of $200. As held by many 
the honorable courts in many contractual cases related to performance of the 
contract that the person who proceeded with his part of performance must not 
be deprived from getting his reward. Such as, in Hoeing v Issac and Bolton v 
Mahadeva, where the court ordered the defendants to pay the amount for their 
substantial performance. [Wallis, 2008]
