Answer:
C received a check in form of a loan from an aunt. After some time the aunt wrote on a Christmas card that states to keep the money with no return. C may argue against her estate, wanting payment for the loan, that the Christmas card sent by his aunt is a gift of forgiveness of the check loan. However, the Christmas card is very vague and doesn't mention the amount of money, it could have been other money that C 's aunt gave him besides the check. In that case, C may still be liable for the loan. In hindsight C should have requested a detailed writing from his aunt for loan forgiveness.
Answer:
The case revolves around Mr. C and Ms. N, who went to the country I in November, where he proposed marriage and presented Ms. N with a diamond ring. She accepted the proposal and the ring and after that, she asked him from where he had brought the ring.
Ms. N got disappointed when she got to know from where Mr. C had bought the ring and she returned back the ring to Mr. C and suggested him that she wants a ring of a different style.
In light of the scenario, the gift made to Ms. N was an engagement ring. When Ms. N returned the ring to Mr. C. he returned the ring to the jeweler and had received a refund of $5,000. He then purchased a new ring for $12,000 and re-proposed her girlfriend in late November.
However, Ms. N claimed that his boyfriend had given her a second ring few days before the Christmas. In such a scenario, Ms. N cannot allege th at his boyfriend had given a second ring as a holiday gift as his boyfriend had given her a second ring with intent to engage her.

Answer:
M relinquished her title (ownership) of plates by dumping it in a trash site. Hence, the plates are now "finders keepers" that is title is given to whoever finds these plates. M will have to argue that she had no intention of abandoning it, retaining title, e.g. maybe she dumped the plates when running away from a thief. But absent such evidence the plates are transferred to the new owner.
