Truman has just graduated from the ParalegalTech Institute and has landed a job at one of the most prestigious law firms in Los Angeles. Truman is a television addict and, with some of his first paycheck, he goes out and replaces his thirty four inch color television with a sixty four inch plasma screen color television. Truman calls his friend Ed and tells him that he can have his old TV if he comes over to Truman's apartment and picks it up. When Ed arrives at Truman's house, Truman refuses to give Ed the TV. Ed sues Truman, arguing that Truman set out a condition for the promise and Ed fulfilled it and so Truman is required to give him the television. Ed will win this case:

Question 4

Truman is about to move into a new apartment. Unfortunately, his new apartment is smaller than his old apartment and it will not be able to accommodate his sixty-four inch color television. Truman had tried to sell the T.V. but nobody is willing to buy it.

When Ed arrives at Truman's house, Truman refuses to give Ed the TV. Ed sues Truman, arguing that Truman set out a condition for the promise and Ed fulfilled it and so Truman is required to give him the television. Ed will win this case:
