A homeowner offered a roofer $500 to repair a leak. The offer stated, 'You can accept only by completing the repair by Friday.' On Thursday, the roofer began the repairs but was told by the homeowner to stop, as the homeowner found someone cheaper. Can the roofer recover?

Yes, because the contract was formed when the roofer started the work. Yes, because once performance begins on a unilateral contract, the offeror cannot revoke the offer for a reasonable time. No, because the contract was an illusory promise. No, because a unilateral contract is only accepted by full performance.

Correct Answer:

Yes, because once performance begins on a unilateral contract, the offeror cannot revoke the offer for a reasonable time.

Explanation:

Under the modern rule (Restatement Second of Contracts), once an offeree begins performance of a unilateral contract, the offeror must hold the offer open for a reasonable time to allow completion.
