Rayna and Robin are best friends. They decided to go on vacation together to Jamaica. They agreed that Rayna would make all of the travel arrangements and pay for them, and then Robin would reimburse Rayna for her share. Rayna put the agreement in writing and included details of all of the expenses for which Robin was to reimburse Rayna. Robin, excited about the trip and trusting Rayna, signed the agreement without reading it. She was shocked when Rayna later asked for a check for $5324 for herportion of the trip. Of that amount, $3244 was for First Class airfare. Robin was upset, as she had no idea that Rayna purchased First Class airfare and would have preferred to fly coach. Robin refused to pay for the airfare. Rayna sued Robin. Who will win?
  1. Robin will win, as she did not read the contract and did not know that it required her to pay for First Class airfare.
  2. Robin will win, as sneaking in First Class airfare rendered the contract unconscionable.
  3. Rayna will win, as Robin had a duty to read the contract before signing it.
  4. Robin will win, as Rayna should have made sure that Robin understood that the contract required Robin to pay for First Class airfare.
  5. None of the above.
Explanation
Answer: C. Rayna will win as Robin had a duty to read the contract before signing it. A party who voluntarily enters into an agreement is bound to it. Unless fraud is involved, failure to read an agreement before signing it does not render the agreement or any of its terms void.
