Question 2: Larry wins a watch in a competition and as he already has a similar one, advertises it on the internet saying, “I have won this watch (photo attached), its value is around $1500 but will sell for $15”.
Jack sees the advertisement and rings Larry saying he will buy the watch that has been advertised. Larry says ok and gives Jack his bank account details. Jack transfers the money into Larry’s bank account.

When Larry sees the $15 in his bank account, he realises he made an error in the advertisement as it should have said “will sell for $150”. Larry refuses to hand the watch to Jack.

a) Is there a legally enforceable contract?
b) Does it matter that the watch was worth considerably more than $150?
c) If there is a contract, is there any legal basis for Larry to argue that the contract should be void?
d) What would Larry have to establish to make the contract void?
e) Are there any cases that assist your argument?

b) If the advertisement uses images of Kyle (a very fast 100 metre runner) without his permission what provisions of the ACL may assist Kyle in removing the advertisements?

Question 4: Prudence is a mother of two children and drives them to school every day in her Mercedes station wagon. The car cost $120,000 which she bought three years ago from the car dealer “Perfect Merc”. 

“Perfect Merc” has a two-year warranty and a notice in the contract to say they will not be liable for any faults after two years from the purchase date.

Prudence likes to listen to classical music on the radio, but the radio no longer works.

Prudence wishes to have the radio repaired or replaced by “Perfect Merc” but “Perfect Merc” seeks to rely on the clause saying they will not be liable for any faults after two years from the purchase date.

a) Advise Prudence as to whether she would be considered a “consumer” under the ACL
b) What sections could Prudence use to have the radio replaced?
c) How would a court treat the exclusion clause that Perfect Merc seeks to rely on?
