Mr. Ying, a successful lawyer, is asked by his daughter's daycare to do their legal work on a voluntary, unpaid basis and, since it is minimal, he agrees. As the result of an error he makes in drawing up the daycare's standard employment contract, a mistake which would not have been made by the reasonable lawyer, the daycare has to compensate an employee who was let go for failure to meet the job requirements. Since Mr. Ying received no consideration for his work, the daycare cannot hold him liable in contract for its loss.
