2. Introduction Contractual obligations are crucial in governing the relationship between parties – especially those engaged in commercial transitions Whereas the law requires mutual consideration between parties in a contractual relationship, the are exemptions to this rule (Robert, 2021) For instance, the Doctrine of Charitable Subscriptions holds that a charity can enforce promises made to it by a third party The public benefit and interests associated with charitable events justify the enforceability

3. Facts ABCD Company promised the Church of Narnia a $ 5,000,000.00 The Bishop was happy because he had desired to expand the church but required adequate resources for the project Relying on the promise from the company’s CEO, the Bishop undertook several initiatives toward the project, as follows: Architect: $200,000.00 General Contractor: $1,000,000.00 Labor : $1,000,000.00 Tools and Materials: $ 3,000,000.00 When he contacted the company, he was informed that the company had lost some amounts shortly after the CEO’s pledge to donate to the church – and was not in a position to honor the pledge

4. Issues in the Case Scenario The Court’s determination will be based on the following issues; Whether the Church (by the Bishop’s actions) substantively relied on the company’s promise This issue will establish whether the Bishop’s reliance on the promise was detrimental to the Church Whether the financial changes in the company shortly after pledging its donation would render it legally unenforceable This issue will seek to determine whether the company’s financial constraints would relieve it from the obligation to honor its pledge

5. Precedents and Conclusion Lucy v. Zehmer (1954 ) – A sale agreement was held valid, though made in jest, with the Court considering the plaintiff’s decision to treat the defendant as a step towards purchasing the land Hamer v. Sidway ( 1891) – Promising someone in good faith is enforceable even if it requires them to stop something. This precedent emphasizes the “good faith” element Drennan v. Star Paving Co. (Cal. 1958 ) – Changes in financial situation do not render a contractual obligation unenforceable under the Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel Therefore, the Church of Narnia is more likel y to win against the Company – The Court will order a specific performance for the company to honor its pledge
