First to say that Kiwi Camara got his ass handed to him on a platter with an apple stuffed inside.
That statute was written by the RIAA, and it's about as cruel and unusual and unconstitutionally disproportionate as possible. Why don't they just waterboard her too?
“But Kolodziej insists that "Mason made an offer of a unilateral contract when he issued the challenge," and he breached the agreement by refusing to pay.”
Law students are the most annoying people on the planet.
@3:
Hi, Kiwi!
Is a Kiwi Camera similar to a Kashlobster?
Has Montana asked for the IP address of everyone posting on ATL yet? They really should...
I believe that if the law student accept the offer with the expectation of getting paid and relied on the promise to his detriment then he should be entitled to the $1m.
Perhaps some section of the Restatement addresses this?
Kiwi is a fruit
I actually agree that he may have a decent unilateral contract claim. It probably depends on the demeanor of the attorney during the Dateline episode to determine if a reasonable person would have interpreted it as an actual offer. Sounds factual--skip MSJ and go directly to trial.
He lost the case the moment he introduced himself to the jury: "Hi, I'm Kiwi and I represent a Turnip."
