Problem
Jacob, who is physically challenged, after returning to his brand new BMW found out that someone had stolen all his petrol. Whilst he was there in disbelief, he saw Tasha, a newly recruited member of the JCF. He told her what had happened and she said: "Don't worry sir, I will catch these criminals for you". He replied: "Thank you so much, and for that I will pay you $300". James who was eavesdropping offered to get some petrol for Jacob. Jacob gave James a container and $100 as payment for the petrol. Thereafter, James returned and Jacob said: 'Thank you for your trouble. I do not have any more money with me.'
Tasha caught the thief but Jacob has refused to pay James and Tasha.
Your supervisor has asked you to prepare a legal memorandum. In that memorandum you should advise him as to whether James and/or Tasha has a claim against Jacob.
