When the concluding question in a case problem can be answered simply yes or no, state the legal principle or rule of law that supports your answer.
Attorney Mark Davis sought the services of a professional translator to translate an audio recording of his client as part of a divorce proceeding. Davis's office contacted Norma Chaparro and asked her to perform the services. Chaparro had previously translated documents for Davis, and her typical arrangement was to invoice and be paid by Davis for the services. Chaparro told Davis's office she could translate the tape but could not provide a quote for the services until she had examined the tape. After Chaparro assessed the tape, Davis's office was informed that the transcription would exceed 50 pages. The staff instructed Chaparro to do whatever necessary to finish the transcription. After delivering the completed transcription to Davis, Chaparro presented an invoice of $1,500 for her services. Davis refused to pay, stating that he had never promised to pay Chaparro and that she should seek payment from his client instead. Chaparro sued Davis, claiming that she had contracted with him, not his client, and that he had breached their contract by refusing to pay her. Did Davis breach an implied in fact contract with Chaparro?
