Ellen was a seamstress who had been unemployed for some years. She is also legally blind but is able to see objects at very close distance. Jennifer, her friend, wanted to help her get back into the workforce. So Jennifer asked Ellen to sew her wedding dress as well as the dresses of all her bridesmaids for her upcoming wedding. Jennifer made it clear that this arrangement was only a trial to see if Ellen could deliver. It was agreed that Ellen would be paid $19.50 an hour initially. If she delivered the first dress, Jennifer would discus the rate of payment again.
As she was starting to sew the first dress, an electrical short circuit in the sewing machine caused Ellen to be electrocuted and sent to the hospital. Ellen now claims workers compensation from Jennifer. Jennifer argues that they did not have an employment contract so Ellen cannot receive workers compensation. Is Jennifer correct? Explain your answer with specific focus on the elements for the creation of a valid contract, specifically intention to create legal relations.
