A and B are neighbours. Before A left on a holiday, he asked B to "keep an eye on his house." While A was on holidays, B noticed that A's lawn was in need of cutting and proceeded to cut the lawn. On A's return from his holiday, B demanded $10 for cutting the lawn. A and B have a binding contract for the cutting of the lawn, because A's statement constituted an offer to B to cut the lawn, which B accepted.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A's request for B to "keep an eye on his house" does not specifically constitute an offer for B to cut the lawn, nor does it imply a promise of payment for such services. Therefore, without a clear offer and acceptance regarding the lawn cutting, there is no binding contract for this specific task.
