Helen tells her nephew, Bernard, that she will pay him $100 if he will stop smoking for six months. Helen was hopeful that if Bernard stopped smoking for six months, he would stop altogether. Bernard stops smoking for six months but then resumes his smoking. Helen will not pay him. She says that the type of promise she made cannot constitute a binding contract and that, furthermore, it was at least implied that he would stop smoking for good.

If there is no proof that this deal was made Bernard cannot legally take the money from Helen. If Helen reported that Bernard took $100, he would be found guilty of stealing because there is no legal documents stating that he is owed this money.
