name cases with a breach of contract (australian cases)

Nicola approached her local hairdresser in Sutherland, Sydney, called the Sun Snip, if they would cut Nicola’s hair and make it into a wig. Keen for the publicity for their salon, Betty, the owner, agreed. The ‘big cut’, held on a Saturday, went well, and the event generated a lot of media interest and publicity for Betty’s salon. Nicola left the bundle of hair with Betty. Betty had intended to make the wig herself, since she did have qualifications as a wigmaker, but the more she thought about it, the more nervous she felt about whether her skills were up to it. On Monday morning, she called an old friend of hers, Pauline, who runs a small and struggling wig-making business in Cronulla. After hearing Betty’s concerns, Pauline agreed to make the wig for her at the discounted price of $300, and told Betty it would take a week to make. Relieved, Betty delivered the hair to Pauline the next day, telling her she would collect the wig, and any excess hair for her to make extensions, in a week’s time. Pauline spent hours making the wig. In the end, she decided it was the most attractive wig she had ever made. Since Betty was not coming to collect the wig until the following Monday, Pauline decided to display the wig in her shop window. She was delighted when many more people than usual came into her shop and admired the wig. a. Nicola comes to you for legal advice. She wants to know what causes of action and remedies (if any) are available to her against Betty, Pauline, and Duncan. (This question is worth 20 marks for LAWS3082 students).
