What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Any State
This is a scenario that came up on another forum. I remember in my brief time in law school, this scenario could be actionable, but I forget under what grounds and my Google-fu is coming up with scenarios completely unrelated to what I'm interested in.
Alice takes Bob to a sporting event over an hour away from where Bob lives. Alice and Bob are dating, and Alice finds out Bob cheated on her. As revenge, Alice ditches Bob at the stadium. An hour after having excused herself to go to the bathroom, and leaving the stadium herself, she sends him a text message that makes it clear she's left. Bob then has to pay $150 or so in cab fare to get home.
Does Bob have a claim against Alice? I don't believe there's a tort claim, but I would expect there is an implied contract of some sort. Or is there not?
