The ICT letter arrived during SCE's annual budget review process, and Jackson was called upon to decide how much of the college's limited funds to apply to engineering equipment purchases. The day that she received Cruz's letter, Jackson informed the budget committee that no funds would be needed from that year's budget for engineering equipment purchases. A few days later, as Jackson was dictating the acceptance letter to ICT, she received a second letter from Cruz indicating that the ICT equipment program was being canceled due to an influx of qualified foreign engineers to the United States.

Because the budget had been approved and all available funds had been committed to nonengineering equipment purchases, Jackson mailed the acceptance letter anyway and it was delivered to Cruz at ICT. If SCE brings a breach of contract action against ICT, what result? In July of last summer George, a grape grower, contracted with Walter's Winery to deliver ' tons of premium quality pinot chardonnay grapes grown on my ranch Grapeacre in Grape County. In August of the same year, George entered into an identical contract with Vinnie's Vintner Co. to sell tons of premium quality pinot chardonnay grapes. George completed his harvest by September 10 and had tons of premium quality grapes. On September 11, an unexpected rain ruined tons, and George notified Walter and Vinnie on that day that he would only be able to deliver tons to Walter and tons to Vinnie.

On September 14, Vinnie purchased an additional tons of premium quality pinot chardonnay grapes from Godfrey, one of several other available sources for premium quality pinot chardonnay grapes. These grapes along with the tons from George gave Vinnie the tons he needed. On September 15, what is Walter's Winery's legal position with regard to George's failure to deliver the tons of grapes required by his contract? Christine and her friend Zelda were going away to college and had quite a few personal belongings to transport. Christine's father offered to drive them in his van, but when the van was loaded they discovered there was only room for two people, so Christine asked her boyfriend Harry to drive her in his car while Christine's father and Zelda rode in the van.

About halfway to the college, while the van and Harry's car were driving down the freeway, the van in front, the van suddenly swerved out of control and ran off the highway, ending up on its side in the center divider. When Harry stopped his car and Christine ran to the van, she discovered to her horror that her father was dead. Zelda appeared to be injured, but not severely. Because her father previously had heart trouble, Christine assumed that he had had a heart attack while driving, although a later investigation would reveal that the accident was caused solely by a defect in the steering mechanism of the van. Filled with remorse, Christine told Zelda, 'I'm so sorry about this. I'll make good any losses you suffer because of this accident.

Winston, she wrote the doctor a letter stating that she would be responsible for all of Zelda's medical expenses; Dr. Winston received the letter the next day. Assume for purposes of this question only that several months after the accident, but within the applicable statute of limitations, Zelda discovered that she had suffered an injury to her spinal column that would prevent her from ever playing basketball again. Zelda had been a scholarship athlete in basketball at the college and was considered to be a certain high draft selection for the newly formed women's professional basketball league when she graduated. She brought an action against Christine for several million dollars in damages.

Which of the following is the best defense Christine could assert against Zelda's claim? There was no consideration supporting her promise to Zelda to make good any losses. She was in error when she assumed that her father's heart attack was the cause of the accident. Brown agreed. By January 1, Smith had only worked five hours for Brown, and Brown stated to Smith that he would not pay Jones because Smith had not worked enough. Smith responded, 'That's okay, just hold on to the money until I get hours in, then pay Jones.

Assume for purposes of this question that after the agreement between Smith and Brown was entered into in September, Smith informed Jones of the arrangement. Jones's response was, 'I don't care who pays me but if I don't get my money by January 2, I'll sue. What is the probable result of this action? Tortfeasor tortiously injured Victim in an auto accident. Hospital promptly assigned for value the settlement memorandum and negotiated the note to Holder, who took the note as a holder in due course. Subsequently, Victim misrepresented to Insurer that he had lost the settlement memorandum and needed another.

ABC immediately notified Insurer of this assignment. In view of Tortfeasor's age and irresponsibility when Insurer issued his liability policy, can Holder and ABC Furniture recover on their assignments? QUESTIONMater, a wealthy widow, wishing to make a substantial and potentially enduring gift to her beloved adult stepson, Prodigal, established with the Vault Savings and Loan Association a passbook savings account by an initial deposit of For this question only, assume the following facts. The passbook was issued solely in Prodigal's name; but Mater retained possession of it, and Prodigal was not then informed of the savings account. Subsequently, Mater became disgusted with Prodigal's behavior and decided to give the same savings account solely to her beloved adult daughter Distaff.

As permitted by the rules of Vault Savings and Loan, Mater effected this change by agreement with Vault. This time she left possession of the passbook with Vault. Shortly thereafter, Prodigal learned of the original savings account in his name and the subsequent switch to Distaff's name. In early January , representatives of MacDougall Corporation, makers of the famous MacDougall Dog hot dog and related convenience foods sold through thousands of owned and franchised 'MacDougall's' restaurants, met with representatives of Time Management, Inc. After extensive negotiations, it was orally agreed that TM would redesign the food production area of MacDougall's restaurants, including modification of cooking equipment, if necessary, so that, using existing MacDougall's food products, savings in labor costs through reduction in restaurant cooking staffs would result.

Lawyers for MacDougall's subsequently drafted a written agreement, sent it to TM, whose lawyers modified the draft, and returned the modified draft to MacDougall's. Nationwide installation must be completed by January 15, Any amendments to this agreement must be in writing signed by both parties. TM immediately began work on the restructuring of MacDougall's food processing methods. The restructured food production system was installed and in operation in all Richmond MacDougall's restaurants on October 1, The new system required that MacDougall's increase the length of the famous MacDougall Dog by three centimeters and that the 'Mother MacDougall Hot Apple Fritters' be made in a rectangular shape rather than the traditional round form.

Nationwide installation of the new system in all MacDougall's restaurants was completed on January 30, The CEO refused to so certify and refused to make any payment, noting in his reply letter that the system had not been installed by January 15, , and that it did not use existing MacDougall's food products, as promised by TM. Assume for the purpose of this question only that an express condition of Mac- Dougall Corporation's duty to pay the contract price failed and that TM was in breach because it failed to complete nationwide installation of the food processing system by January 15, If TM brings an action to recover the reasonable value of its services, will it likely succeed?

In fact, this rule was enacted before Charlesville had a police academy, and now a prospective police officer spends six months in the academy before being hired by the city.

Ruby, a graduate of the police academy, was with the city police department for eight months when she was terminated. There were no city ordinances or state laws that required that Ruby be given a reason for the termination or a hearing, and she was given neither. Which of the following facts, if shown, gives the city of Charlesville the strongest argument for refusing to give Ruby a statement of reasons why her employment was terminated and for denying her the opportunity to contest the termination?

Zeller is excused from performing his contract because of impossibility of performance. Wendy, a wealthy widow, owned a prime piece of land in an exurban area populated by affluent residents. Wendy had a daughter, Dorothea, who was Wendy's only child and the 'apple of her eye. Wendy wanted to give Dorothea a very special wedding gift. The house was to be built to very exacting specifications that described in great detail the materials to be used, the exact shape of each room, etc.

These specifications were included in the written agreement between Wendy and Brikk. After the agreement was signed by both Wendy and Brikk, Dorothea and Pemberton looked at some fine homes in the same general area. They had two opportunities to purchase suitable homes at good prices, but decided to turn them down. Just as Brikk was about to begin construction of the house, he discovered that an underground river bisected Wendy's property. This left insufficient subterranean support to construct the house as planned. If Wendy files suit demanding specific performance or damages from Brikk, which of the following additional facts, if proven, would most favor Wendy's case?

Judgment for SCE, if Jackson's removal of funds from the engineering department's budget was a reasonable and foreseeable response to ICT's offer. Judgment for SCE, because Jackson's removal of funds from the engineering department's budget converted ICT's offer into an express option. Judgment for ICT, because its promise to supply equipment to SCE was not supported by consideration. Judgment for ICT, because its revocation was received by Jackson before she dispatched the acceptance letter. If Walter has given George a written notice of termination, Walter will have the right to refuse to accept the tons of grapes but will have no cause of action for damages against George.

Even if Walter has given George a written notice of termination, Walter must accept the tons of grapes and will have no cause of action for damages against George. Since Vinnie's purchase establishes that it is possible for George to perform by obtaining additional grapes from other available sources, Walter may accept the tons from George and recover damages for George's failure to deliver the balance of the amount specified by the contract. Since George's contract with Walter was entered into before his contract with Vinnie, George is bound to deliver the entirety of his grape crop to Walter.

She did not intend to offer to pay Zelda for the loss of her professional career when she said she would make good any losses. She did not know that Zelda would not be able to play basketball when she offered to make good any losses. Judgment for Jones, because he was informed of the original agreement and did not participate in the modification. Judgment for Brown, because the original agreement was modified before Jones's rights became vested. Neither can recover because Victim, the assignor, is a third-party beneficiary of the liability policy, whose rights thereon can be no better than Tortfeasor's.

Neither can recover unless Insurer knowingly waived the defense of Tortfeasor's minority and irresponsibility. Neither can recover because the liability policy, and settlement thereunder, are unenforceable because of Tortfeasor's minority. Either Holder or ABC Furniture, depending on priority, can recover as assignee or subassignee of Victim's claim because the latter arose from Insurer's settlement agreement, the latter agreement not being vitiated by Tortfeasor's minority and irresponsibility when he obtained the policy. Yes, because Prodigal was a thirdparty intended beneficiary of the original Mater-Vault deposit agreement. Yes, because Prodigal was a constructive assignee of Mater's claim, as depositor, to the savings account. No, because Prodigal's right, if any, to the funds on deposit was effectively abrogated by the second Mater-Vault deposit agreement.

No, because failure of an express condition precedent would excuse MacDougall Corporation of its duty to pay TM. No, because a claim for reasonable value of services would be inconsistent with a claim by MacDougall Corporation against TM for breach of contract. Yes, because MacDougall Corporation continued to use the new food processing system and was aware that TM expected to be paid for its services. His reliance on the job offered by Producer by declining another job opportunity created an estoppel against Producer. His failure to perform with the orchestra for four days was not a material failure so as to discharge Producer's duty to perform. Fiddler was never told that an injury might jeopardize his continued employment with the orchestra.

Ruby had failed to include in her application the fact that during college she was a member of a radical student organization. Win, because the dollar amount of the agreement is large enough that the Statute of Frauds applies. Zeller has a cause of action against Baker, because Zeller has substantially performed his contract. Baker has a cause of action against Zeller for Zeller's failure to deliver bushels of wheat. Baker is obligated to give Zeller a reasonable time to attempt to obtain the other five bushels of wheat.

The detailed specifications in the agreement had been drawn up by Brikk, as were other blueprints and plans for the house. Neither Wendy nor Brikk had reason to know of the underground river before the contract was signed. Dorothea knew of the contract between Wendy and Brikk, and her sole reason for turning down the opportunities to purchase suitable housing was reliance on the contract. Yes, regardless of whether its February 3 letter contained the quantity term because the letter merely confirms a prior deal for series 4 tires. Judgment for ICT, because it could not be determined with sufficient specificity what MSU's needs for equipment would be, there having been no time to ascertain how many new engineering degree students would apply to the expanding degree program.

Judgment for ICT, because MSU's obligation under any contract is illusory no additional students will necessarily apply to an expanded engineering degree program. Judgment for MSU, because ICT is classified as a merchant under the U. and its offer was therefore irrevocable. Judgment for MSU, because Marchand's letter was an effective acceptance of ICT's offer and an enforceable contract was thereby formed. Amalgamated is entitled to enforce the agreement, as it gave Pet Products prompt notice of the assignment from Hair of the Dog. There was no mutuality of obligation in the original agreement between Pet Products and Hair of the Dog and hence there was nothing to 'assign' to Amalgamated. Amalgamated is entitled to enforce the agreement if it is willing to pay cash, as one person's credit is not necessarily as good as another's.

Babe cannot recover from Joe because Babe had a preexisting duty to use his best efforts to hit home runs. Babe cannot recover from Joe because, even under the modern trend, moral consideration is not valid. No, because Andrew's rejection was communicated to Patrick before his letter of acceptance was received. No, because the description of the subject matter as 'the stuff in our house' is not sufficiently definite and certain.

Specific performance is an equitable remedy, and because Odivia waited for over a year to sue, the equitable defense of laches will apply. Specific performance is not an appropriate remedy if nominal legal damages are available to Odivia. There is no contract between WidgeCo and Distrucorp, because Distrucorp made a material alteration. There is a valid, enforceable contract between WidgeCo and Distrucorp, but it is limited to the terms of WidgeCo's offer.

The ICT letter arrived during SCE's annual budget review process, and Jackson was called upon to decide how much of the college's limited funds to apply to engineering equipment purchases. The day that she received Cruz's letter, Jackson informed the budget committee that no funds would be needed from that year's budget for engineering equipment purchases. A few days later, as Jackson was dictating the acceptance letter to ICT, she received a second letter from Cruz indicating that the ICT equipment program was being canceled due to an influx of qualified foreign engineers to the United States.

Because the budget had been approved and all available funds had been committed to nonengineering equipment purchases, Jackson mailed the acceptance letter anyway and it was delivered to Cruz at ICT.
