Life Skills Assignment

The disagreement between Church of Stranger Things and Fun Company is related to the fact

that Fun Company promised the Church of Stranger Things but failed to keep that promise due to

changes in the company's financial position. The Fun Company pledged to donate three million

dollars to the foreign church, and the pastor called the company to confirm. Based on this, the

pastor has promised to pay $ 3 million. However, the company failed to provide the promised

amount, and the congregation was outraged.

The legal status of this case is not as clear-cut as in other cases. There is a small and vague line

on this case, but the decision has not yet been made in court. Once the promise has been made

and confirmed, the company cannot dismiss the claim. The contract was not kept, resulting in a

financial loss of three million dollars equal to the promised amount. The court will consider the

following questions: Whether the promise harmed the congregation, and if so, how much.

Second, the court must determine the reasons and circumstances for failing to deliver on its

promises.

Depending on the circumstances of the case and the legal provisions of the law, the courts may

compel the company to fulfil its obligations. One of the reasons the court faced it was that the

promise negatively impacted the church with the promised $ 3 million. If that had not been the

case, the court would have thought that the company would pay a fine to restore the church to its

original financial condition since it had good reason not to keep its promise. However, in this

case, the most likely outcome is that the company must keep its promises.
