Silver was a journeyman electrician who was occasionally employed by AOC Corporation, an apartment management company. He did some electrical work for AOC over a four-month period and submitted a bill for $893. The defendant refused to pay, claiming that the contract lacked a legal object because the plaintiff was not licensed as an electrical contractor in Detroit or the state of Michigan. The state licensing statute exempted “minor work,”and the plaintiff claimed that his work rewiring a hallway in an apartment building managed by AOC was “minor.” What critical thinking skills would you use to speculate on who might win this case?
