OK, I’ve read the questions and have in my mind the answers
You say you need help with these questions – what is it about the answers that you don’t understand?
As for your supplementary question concerning the course notes and unfair dismissal remedies, in my defence I can only point out that the notes are not intended to be a replacement of a study text – the notes contain sufficient details to assist you in your attempt at the law exam
Where there is an apparent omission in the notes you can always check on the internet. I have done just that to ensure that it’s easy enough – I put into Google ‘remedies for unfair dismissal’ and was rewarded with a full explanation
Let me know what is troubling you about the answers to the two multiple choice questions
OK?

It boils down to a matter of ‘intention’
In case law there is a case involving grandfather, granddaughter and lodger entering newspaper competitions with an agreement to share any prize money. This was held to be a binding contract
As for the other three, you need to ask yourself ‘was there consideration attributable to BOTH parties?’
Father / daughter and her education? Not really – continuing her education would be for her own benefit so she’s not giving anything extra that could be classed as consideration
Mother / son and housekeeping? In family ‘contracts’ the courts will presume that there is no intention to create legal relations in a domestic situation
But husband and separated wife? These two can no longer be considered to be in a domestic family relationship so it seems to me that their rental agreement would be seen by the courts as being an enforceable contract
Is that OK for you?

Instead of a vague complaint (“there is so much question not in the note”) it would be far more constructive to give me examples of the areas not covered by the notes!
In answer to your question, no, the Rights of Third Parties Act is not covered in the notes
I look forward to hearing from you
