According to the woman, her boyfriend of 6.5 years violated the ‘oral contract’. She told the committee that she had arranged to go to a concert with some friends. Her partner drives her to the airport and takes care of her two dogs at home.
She texted him a day in advance to pick her up between 10:00 am and 10:15 am. However, he didn’t show up, causing her to miss her flight. As a result, the woman had to buy a new ticket, take a shuttle bus to the airport and put her dogs in a kennel.
No legal contract
She testified that she had a “verbal contract” with the man. However, the judge disagreed and held that such an agreement would only be enforceable if there was an intention to enter into a “legally binding relationship”.
“Partners, friends and co-workers make social contracts, but they are not legally enforceable unless the parties do an act that manifests their intention to be bound by their promises,” the judge wrote.
“Even if a promise is made, it is not a contract. It is part of everyday social relations agreements that cannot be enforced in a dispute resolution committee.
According to the judge, the friend sent an email saying he would not be attending the hearing.
“Introvert. Communicator. Tv fanatic. Typical coffee advocate. Proud music maven. Infuriatingly humble student.”
