Question 2
Gambling Debts. George Aubin, the ex-president of a failed bank and a resident of Texas (where gambling debts are unenforceable), traveled to the Bahamas (where gambling debts are enforceable) to gamble at the Cable Beach Hotel and Casino, owned by Carnival Leisure Industries, Ltd. Aubin took more than 2,000, which he lost at blackjack. The casino then approved credit of up to 25,000 for Aubin, if he chose to take advantage of it. In less than two days, Aubin gambled away the entire 25,000, issued to him in exchange for drafts (instruments similar to checks that ordered Aubin's bank in Texas to pay a certain sum of money to the casino). On each draft was printed I represent that I have received cash for the above amount and that said amount is on deposit in said financial entity in my name, is free and clear of claim and is subject to this check and is hereby assigned to payee, and I guarantee payment with exchange and costs in collecting. Aubin returned to Texas. Over the next six weeks, Carnival sent Aubin letters asking him to pay the 25,000. When Aubin did not respond, Carnival presented the drafts to Aubin's bank for payment. Aubin had already directed his bank to stop payment. Carnival sued Aubin for the 25,000, on the ground of fraud, among other things. Aubin claimed that he had signed only markers (IOUs), not drafts, and that he had had no intention of honoring any drafts. How should the court rule? Discuss.
