  • In the kingdom of Mortalis, the l

In the kingdom of Mortalis, the legal heirs or representatives of the deceased acquire the rights and obligations of the deceased after their passing. Ms. Elara went away and left behind the unfinished draught of a book. The publisher, Wordsmith Ltd., asserted that they had a legally binding agreement with Ms. Elara that gave them the sole right to publish her future works. Elara's daughter disagreed, saying her mother had expressed a desire to change publishers just before she passed away. She considers Wordsmith Ltd.'s contract to be void.

Option: 1

A. How many books did Ms. Elara publish with Wordsmith Ltd. in the past?

C. What price range is Wordsmith Ltd. willing to accept for the manuscript's publishing rights?

The main issue is whether, under Mortalis law, Ms. Elara's purported verbal intents can supersede a written contract. It is crucial to determine how the kingdom's legal system compares such verbal intentions to formal contracts, especially when done posthumously.
