Understood. Let me know when you're ready.
That Thursday night, * April, Charlotte decided to post the photos of the balloon dog
shoes on TRNRS and she set the price at £*. Ivan, a trainee solicitor at the firm of
Price & Platt in London, was sitting at his desk working that Thursday night (* April) and
feeling sorry for himself because it was so late. He started scrolling through his phone
and suddenly the image of the Joel Koons x Nike collab on TRNRS popped up. In his
size! Ivan felt he deserved a treat and immediately pressed BUY. He was super excited.
Charlotte got up Friday morning and saw that Ivan had ordered the shoes. She sent an
order acceptance message right away, as her TRNRS reviews always commented on
how prompt she was at responding. Her message included an exemption clause that
the ‘seller is not liable if she does not have title to the shoes at the time of sale.’ She
couldn’t believe it had all happened so quickly, so she messaged Tim on Friday, *
April, to let him know.

Charlotte is a student at Oxford Headington University. In addition to working hard and
attending her lectures, Charlotte has a side passion selling trainers online. She loves
Nike Dunks and is an avid collector and well-regarded seller. She has a storefront on
the app, TRNRS, and she is thrilled by the recent uptick in her business over the past
year. She is now selling on average * pairs of trainers a month!
On her hall in her student accommodation, Charlotte has made friends with Tim. Tim
owns a brand-new, very cool pair of trainers from the rare collaboration between Nike
and the artist Joel Koons, and the trainers have balloon dogs on them. Charlotte has
been talking to Tim, trying to convince him to let her sell the shoes on TRNRS. Charlotte
took a bunch of photos of the balloon dog shoes.

Tim wrote back on Monday, * April, that his brother had been to visit and,
unbeknownst to Tim, had taken the shoes out of the box and worn them out to the pub.
Tim’s brother had spilled red wine all over them and had gotten them so muddy that Tim
had thrown them out.
Ivan was getting really excited about his shoes and so he organised a party at the art
gallery/wine bar next to his flat in Shoreditch for what he called a ‘shoecase’ – an event
to showcase his new trainers. After work on Friday, * April, Ivan bought two cases of
red wine for £* total and put down a non-refundable deposit of £* for the event,
which was to be held the following weekend.

It seems like there might be a potential issue here given that Ivan has already made plans and incurred expenses based on the expectation that he would receive the shoes. However, there are several factors to consider.
- Agreement: There was an agreement between Charlotte and Ivan for the sale of the shoes.
- Breach of Contract: Ivan could claim that Charlotte breached the contract by not delivering the shoes.
- Representation: Ivan might argue that there was a misrepresentation if Charlotte knew she didn't have the title to the shoes.

Charlotte wrote to Ivan on Tuesday, * April, and let him know that unfortunately the
shoes weren’t available any longer. Charlotte sent him a link to a different pair of Nike
Dunk x Joel Koons trainers, which weren’t in Ivan’s size and were £*. They also
couldn’t ship for two weeks. Ivan was furious. He went to his mentor, Ben, an
experienced solicitor at Price & Platt, and asked for advice about what he could do.
Advise Ivan.
