Legal analysis
Jackson bought a new car and was going to sell his old one for 2500. His cousin trina called and said she needed a car, so jackson said he'd give it to her for free. The next day a coworker offered 3500 for the car, and he sold it to the coworker instead. Did jackson have the right to sell the car or did he legally gave it to a Trina as a gift? |

Definition
| Because the donor(Jackson) didnt deliver the car to the doner(Trina), legally no gift was made, Jackson was free to sell the car |
