Scenario 1 Third Party Rights
Bobby was attending college two hundred miles from his home for the fall semester. Bobby's
wealthy aunt, Brenda, decides to give Bobby a car for Christmas. In November, Brenda makes
a contract with Walker Ford to purchase a new car for $21,800 to be delivered to Bobby just
before the Christmas holidays, in mid-December. The title of the car is to be in Bobby's
name. Brenda pays the full purchase price, calls Bobby and tells him about the gift, and takes
off for a three-month vacation in Mexico.
Is Bobby an intended third party beneficiary of the contract between Brenda and
Walker Ford?
