Legal Question in Employment Law in New York
legal promise?
If someone pays me a certain
amount to secure a specific number
of time slots for tutoring for an
upcoming exam, doesnt use all the
time slots, and then asks for the
money back AFTER the exam, and
after the time slots could no longer
be filled of course, did he make a
legal promise to pay for these
sessions?

Re: legal promise?
lacking a written contract, you would fall back on spoken representations. Unless it was very very clear that, within what was said, that time slots taken up for tutoring would mean that the student would pay up, whether the tutoring was performed or not, there would be no legal promise.
