Your client, Sleek Computers Limited (SCL) based in England, manufactures and distributes Computers and computer accessories all over the world. The directors of SCL decide that they would like some authentic antique china on display in their new head office to impress customers.
One of the directors has, for his neighbour, an elderly lady who has a fine collection of Victorian china. He visits her and discusses the possibility of acquiring her Victorian collection. In spite of her reluctance to sell her collection, he pressurises her into selling it for a fraction of its real value. Her son has now approached SCL, threatening to sue them, but the directors want to keep the china, as many clients who have visited the new office have shown great interest in the Victorian collection.
Advise SCL as to whether the contract would be upheld in court. Would your answer be different if the scenario was set in Scotland and the case heard in a Scottish court?
