ESSAY 001:
INTRODUCTION:
Property transactions, especially in the realm of real estate development, often involve intricate
legal considerations. In this case, we examine a scenario where Gloria, a prospective buyer, believed
she was purchasing a specific cluster home but later discovered discrepancies between the property
she viewed and the one documented in the sales agreement. This essay aims to analyze Gloria's
situation through the lens of contract law, specifically exploring the applicability of the will theory
and the iustus error doctrine. Through a comprehensive examination, we will determine whether
Gloria entered into a legally binding contract with Jack, the property developer, despite the
discrepancies in the property description.
