Study Notes

Contract Annulment

F cannot annul the contract on the grounds of E's incapacity because E's capacity is not relevant to the contract, as E is a farmer selling his carabao (a type of water buffalo) to F.
G can annul the contract with H on the grounds of fraud because fraud is a valid reason for annulling a contract.

Invalid Reasons for Annulment

A situation that would NOT constitute a ground for annulling a contract is a mistake made by a collector of rare coins (I) regarding the contract.

Option Contracts

The nature of an option contract is that it gives the optionee the right to choose whether to enter into a contract or not.
An offerer can withdraw an offer in an option contract before it is accepted.
A gratuitous option contract is distinguished from an onerous one in that the former involves no consideration or payment, whereas the latter does.
Withdrawal of a gratuitous offer is not considered a breach of contract because it is a unilateral offer that can be revoked at any time.

Grounds for Annulment

The main reason why G can annul the contract in the given scenario is the presence of fraud.
A and B cannot claim mistake as a basis for invalidating their contract of sale because they have a valid contract.
