Breach of promise. Advise the staff whether they can successfully claim for the promised £15.

Question

Hello experts. I really need your help with my assignment ASAP.

Bart is the manager of Grannies Coffee Shop which is the Lincoln branch of a chain owned by Cafferty plc. The Managing Director of Cafferty plc is to visit the branch because the income for the past few months has severely fallen following complaints about dirty crockery and floors.

Bart arranges that he will pay each of the staff £15 if, on the day of the visit they will come to work early and thoroughly clean the premises and the crockery.

The visit passes off successfully, but Bart now refuses to pay the promised £15.

Advise the staff whether they can successfully claim for the promised £15.

Answer 1

In my opinion, the staff should'nt get anything.  Had they been doing their job in the first place, ie cleaning, mopping etc. then he would not have had to bribe them.  He sure fooled them, and I bet he's just waiting for the first person to say something about it..
