False in US the automobile is a good -- so it is governed by section 2 Of UCC(uniform commercial code) sale of goods. However, If there are some ambiguities as to the code the common law will govern.

based on SC Decision 433 U.S. 36, 475 U.S. 574, and 429 U.S. 477 as precendent, and CC decision 292 F.3d 664, 668-69  and 124 S.Ct. 1321, there is significant evidence that antitrust violation has been commited on a number of situations.\nfor technical definition of antitrust laws and their applicability to specific situations, see  William F. Baxter, Separation of Powers, Prosecutorial Discretion, and the "Common Law" Nature of Antitrust Law, 60 Tex. L. Rev. 661, 666 (1982).

You would need to lease a property that is commercially zoned for selling cars. Start by talking to your cities zoning board or businesses bureau

I believe that the particular details may depend on the laws in your state.  This is the kind of question that only a lawyer could answer in detail.  (And I'm not one.)\n\nI've always heard (and so it may be completely wrong) that a seller's duty is to disclose any defect they know about or should know about.  But, this is the kind of thing that definitely varies by state.

Well even though there seems to be a contract orally for the sale of land s.53 of the law of property act 1925 applies as well as s2. law of property act 1989, which means that all sale of land must be in writing and are usual by deed. So practically there is not legally enforceable agreement until contracts are exchanged. So even if tom has spent money on a survey he may not recover.\nThere is debate in this area , but in the uk this is inherent risk in these transactions. He may bring a claim for damages under Hadley v.Baxendale, only for his loss eg the survey costs.\n\nAs far as the car is concerned, no consideration has passed so Tom has not really lost anything, he could enforce the contract, but courts are unlikley to enforce specific performance. Practically if the car is £500 there are plenty like it perhaps, but if the price was more £100,000 eg for a RUF modified porshce which are built to order then as there is nothing like it the court may order specific performance of the contract. Orally contracts cannot usually be enforced without some evidence showing intention.

Common Law marriage is when two people live together and share all bills and expenses.  Usually a lease, car payment and utilities.  The time line for a state to recognize this union differs from state to state. And not all states recognize common law marriage.

If the contract only had a total with one price, then the seller would be obligated to honor the price.  Since the contract has individual prices that are added up to the total, then the contract would be considered void in a court of law as it has a calculation error, unless the total says that it has been discounted to be lower than the sum of the individual components.

The common law approach is that and offer and a revocation must be communicated to be effective (i.e., the other side must receive it), but an acceptance will be effective as soon as it is mailed, whether or not the other side receives it.  So the "mailbox rule" really only applies to acceptances.\n\nHowever, for an option contract, an acceptance actually has to be received.

Keep in mind laws are written by lawyers who also make up 95% at least of any governing body. Lawyers will always throw an angle to make money but revenues are also directed towards the actual law itself. It costs a ton of money to draft a new law and usually takes a few years. In Texas we still have a law on the books that says you cannot leave a horse tied up in front of a saloon overnight. Not all make sense........So to answer your question Yes, and No.

If he signed an agreement with her stating that he would pay back the money she spent to redeem his car, then yes, he is legally obligated to uphold his signed agreement.  She can take him to court for default of that agreement if he doesn't keep his word.  Then he would have a court judgment against him as well as the contractual obligation.  After obtaining a court judgment, she could then place a lien on his property to collect the debt or even force him into forclosure or bankruptcy depending on what assets he has available balanced against his ability to pay.

This has been a good question for a long time. A verbal contract is binding (If both sides agree what was said) so I cannot see why this is not true in house buying. \nIt is in Scotland so it should be the same in England too.\n\nWhat it needs is for someone who suffers financial loss (through someone offering and then pulling out, or someone not selling after accepting an offer) to take it as a test case to the courts. Or the European courts. \n\nIt is totally wrong that they English system allows it to happen. The system should allow us to sue the pants off the person responsible for making the deal fall through. \n\nI think the solicitors and legal teams are a bunch of leeches too, by the way. The British conveyancing system sucks. Big time.\n\nHope that helps and good luck!

only if it states it in the contract.

The Uniform Commercial Code seems to regulate commercial loans with collateral (i.e. business loans).  Personal and real property loans (plain common law contracts) are governed by the state, as they are individual loans.\n\nGood Luck

I think the other answer is a bit of an exaggeration; on the other hand I don't know -- and a quick Google check hasn't revealed -- to what extent the Statute of Frauds, requiring a writng for transfer of interests in land, or contracts therefor, applies to Scotland.\n\nNor have you said what stage your sale has reached.\n\nI don't thinkk this is a DIY project. You are going to need Scots counsel to negotiate a solution if a binding contract was reached (establishing terms of sale, etc.) If there is room for doubt, your situation is good: a contract that is to be enforced has to include all the important terms.

Title 2C, the NJ criminal code, still includes a prohibition on selling cars on Sunday.  I don't believe it's really enforced but it provides a nice out if you don't want to sit through a sales pitch on a Sunday.

If its not working correctly take it back for your money or an exchange (Sale of Goods Act).\n\nYour contract is with the shop not the manufacturers (Donogue v Stevenson 1932).\n\nMakes me very lived that shop keeps do not know the law and they trade!

Depends on the kind of law you're talking about.\n\nIn the United States, some laws are "federal" and enforced at the national level.  Others are "state", "county", or "city" and are variously called statutes, ordinances, codes, and so on, depending on their usage.\n\nThen there is "common law" which is law based on what is commonly accepted at the time and is NOT set down in writing.  Most common law is now codified into regular law, but it may be that some states still allow "common law" marriages, for example.
