demands the return of what she has paid Aiko on the ground that she should not paid Aiko since she ha
no more obligation under the law. Is the contention of Gie valid?

the right to demand a return.

3. Bruce Banner and Tony Stark made it appear that Bruce Banner is selling and transferring the
ownership of his land to Tony Stark when their real intention is merely to mortgage the said land. Bruce,
who is a known hot head thus gaining the notorious name "the Hulk", came to a disagreement with
Tony Stark. Out of anger, Bruce Banner stated that the agreement between him and Tony is of no effect
or void. Is the contention of Bruce Banner correct?

No. Because Bruce Banner has this attitude of being low tempered at the same time they have no clear
agreement or there's no meeting of the minds. It's not clear if Bruce will sell and transfer land to Tony or
they will mortgage it.
