Contracts Outline

Enforceable Contracts

I.Quick History

a.Old Common Law (before 1800)

i.Writ of covenant: promise with seal (formalized and enforced)

ii.Writ of assumpsit: promise and consideration (not formal but still enforced).

b.Restatement I (19th and early 20th century)

i.Gratuitous promise: promises to make a gift.

ii.Promises of consideration: promises based on exchange or bargain.

iii.Simple formula for consideration:

1.Did A, in promising B, give up a legal right or promise to give up a legal

right? And,

2.Did A make that promise in whole or in part so that B would give up a

legal right?

iv.If both of these questions are yes, there is consideration and the contract is

enforceable. If the answer is No, then the contract is not enforceable.

1.Formal way of analyzing enforceable promises.

c.Restatement II (Early 20th century to today)

i.Formal way of analyzing problem was wrong.

ii.The consideration formula works, but we have to add reliance.

1.End up with a not just formula, but a series of cases that give precedents

of fairness.

II.Donative Promises, Form, and Reliance

a.Donative Promises

i.Daugherty v Salt—Promissory note alone not enforceable.

1.Aunt gives nephew promissory note. Nephew did not give up a legal

right. Therefore promise not enforceable.

ii.Conditional promises not enforceable unless there is some benefit on part of

promisor.

1.“If you hold out your hand, I will give you $5.” Not enforceable because

holding out hand is only means of executing promise—donative and no

consideration.

2.If doing a study on hands, then promise is enforceable because I benefit

from looking at your hand.

iii.Schnell v Nell—Nominal considerations are not enforceable.

1.Widower promises payment of sum left in wife?s will. Promises to pay

$200 in exchange for $.01.

2.Promise has the form of bargain but lacks substance.

3.Promise made only to make contract valid—but contract not valid

because it lacks consideration.

4.Exceptions to Nominal Consideration rule: Options and guarantees

a.Option: an offer to sell house at a set price can be binding with a

$1.00 consideration from the potential buyer.

b.Guarantee of another?s debt: a cosigner on a loan can be bound

by mere nominal consideration.

b.Reliance—Is P worse off because of Promise?

i.Kirskey v Kirskey—Case where no reliance doctrine gives unfair result. Move

toward a reliance doctrine.

1. D promises P living quarters if P sells her house. P sells house and

moves onto D?s property. D reneges on promise 2 years later.

2.Promise was donative and therefore not enforceable.

a.Conditional Promise: D told P to sell house only so D could give

P new living quarters.

3.D, however, did rely on that promise in selling her house. D harmed by

P?s failure to keep promise.

ii.Estoppel en Pais, promissory estoppel, and broader law of reliance

1.Estoppel en Pais—Reliance on a statement of fact.

a.If A makes statement to B, and B has relied on that statement, A

is prevented (estopped) from denying the truth of the statement in

court

b. A promises B wheat in warehouse as collateral on loan. A

defaults on loan. B requests wheat, but A says truthfully that the

wheat never existed. A is estopped from denying there was

collateral because B relied on A?s statement that there was wheat.

2.Promissory Estoppel—Reliance on Promise

a.Restatement 90— A promise that the promisor can reasonably

expect to induce action or forbearance on part of promise is

binding if injustice can be avoided only by enforcement of

promise.

i.This overturns the ruling in Kirskey

b. Note that defendant is not estopped to deny lack of consideration.

3.Eisenberg?s law of reliance—Larger principle of reliance is any course

of conduct upon which someone relies.

a.Times Mirror: City sought to secure Times property under power

of eminent. Times purchased other land. City did not go through

with proceedings. Times sues claiming reliance on eminent

domain proceedings.

b.Times did not involve Estoppel in Pais (not representation of fact)

nor Promissory Estoppel (bringing the proceeding was not a

promise)—more like a threat to take property.

iii.Feinberg v Pfeifer Co.—Reliance upon a promise without consideration is enforceable.

1.P retires upon promise of pension; company later revokes pension; P

retired in reliance upon promise.

2.Although there was no consideration (P did not give up a legal right—

she could have kept working), she is in a worse position than she would

have been were the promise never made.

3.Contrast with Hayes—employee did not retire in reliance on promise.

a.Promise was made after P decided to retire—P would have

retired without promise and thereby is no worse off had the

promise not been made.

iv.Walters v Marathon Oi l--lost profits are a proper measure of damages in cases involving promissory estoppel.

1.Ps purchased and made improvements on vacant service station based on

promises made by (and negotiations with) Marathon representatives.

2.When D reneged on promise, P collected not only lost money, but lost

profits based on reliance principle.

3.Reliance Damages and Expectation Damages—Judges can decide either

remedy.

a.Reliance Damages—Puts P where she would have been had the

promise not been made.

b.Expectation Damages—Puts P forward were she would be had

the promise been kept.

III.The Bargain Principle and Its Limits

a.The Bargain Principle

i.Hamer v Sidway—consideration even when party is better off just from having

given up the legal right.

1.Uncle promised nephew sum if he refrained from alcohol, tobacco,

cursing and gambling until 21 yrs. Old.

2.Uncle dies, estate argues that there is no consideration since nephew was

better off from refraining and uncle did not benefit from refraining.

3.Court rules that a waiver of any legal right at the request of another party

is sufficient consideration.

ii.Davies v Martel Laboratory Service—giving up any legal right is sufficient for consideration.

1.In giving up the privilege to refrain from serving on Martel?s Council

and pursuing MBA degree, P suffered a legal detriment that constitutes

sufficient consideration between parties.

iii.Batsakis v Demotsis— ct. must award amount provided in terms of contract

regardless of whether those terms were fair

1.P lent D $25 and required D to pay back $2000 plus interest. D needed

money badly.

2.Ct. favors P but awards P only $750 (what ct. thought was fair). P

appeals for full amount and wins.

iv.Chouinard v Chouinard—Hard bargaining positions and financial circumstances do not constitute duress.

1.Brothers forced Father to settle ownership dispute before they would

sign for a loan that the company needed. Father labeled this approach

blackmail.

2.Duress usually granted only if party creates the circumstances that they

are exploiting.

v.Fraud and Duress

1.Fraud: misstating a present fact (lying) and having no intention of

keeping the contract.

a.I have to tell you every material fact about company/house I sell

you.

2.Duress: threatening party and putting party in danger in order to have

that party make a promise.

a.Promisee created the predicament.

vi.Post v Jones—Maritime law: when forced to make a promise in a helpless

situation that promise is not enforceable.

1.Sunken vessel?s cargo auctioned off; maritime law requires duty to

rescue; contract is unenforceable because one party had no position of

power.

2.In common law, duress issues in a contract usually only apply if the

defendant has put the plaintiff in the position of danger he is now

exploiting.

3.Stranded traveler example: should traveler be bound to a promise he

makes in a helpless situation?

a.There is consideration.

b.Eisenberg?s …distress? defense—like duress only applicable where

exploiting party does not create the helpless situation.

vii. People v Two Wheel Corp—Price gauging

1.During hurricane company sold generators at exceedingly high prices.

Ordered to pay restitution damages to those they so charged.

2.Price Gauging—during any abnormal disruption of the market for

consumer goods, no party within chain of distribution shall sell or offer

to sell any goods or services for an amount which represents an

unconscionably excessive price.

b.Unconscionability (last resort defense)

i.Unconscionability:

1.No Choice: An absence of meaningful choice on the part of party

together with contract terms which are unreasonably favorable to the

other party, or

2.Gross Inequality: A gross inequality to one party, or

3.No Knowledge: Party lacked complete knowledge of the provisions of

contract.

ii.Unconscionability has three possible performance terms

1.Unconscionability of Price

a.Party does not get market price because

i.They were cut off from market (post v Jones)

ii.They were ignorant of price.

b.Party does get market price, but market price was unconscionable

(Two wheel and Batsakis)—the K may or may not stand.

2.Unconscionability of Object

a.You paid market price but didn?t improve your previous standing.

i.Buying two vacuum cleaners.

3.Unconscionability of Auxiliary Terms

a.Williams v Walker-Thomas Furniture—Contract voided when P

lacked proper knowledge of contract terms and terms were

unreasonable

i.Furniture contract contained pro rata clause that allowed

Store to repossess all items, though P owed very little on

each item.

b.Weaver v American Oil—paradigm example of courts stepping in

when P was unaware of risks.

i.P-leasor badly burned due to D?s negligence on leased

property.

ii.Lease contai ned a …hold harmless? clause that allocated

risks to leasor for negligence of leasee.

iii.Clause was unconscionable because P improperly bore

the burden of the risks.

iii.Substantive and Procedural Unconscionability

1.Substantive Unconscionability—Did not get market price.

a.Selling oil for $1 per barrel when it is worth $50

2.Procedural Unconscionability—cut off from market

a.Situation leaves you helpless so you must accept $1 for a barrel.

(procedural unconscionability will contain an element of

substantive unconscionability.

b.Situation surrounding K was unfair.

i.Two Wheel, Post v Jones.

c.The Problem of Mutuality—back to consideration formula.

i.Conditions that Activate Contract

1.Scott v Moragues—Conditional contract resting on will of party

becomes valid when party satisfies the condition.

a. D promises to transport goods if he buys a vessel. Buys vessel

but refuses to transport goods. P recovers.

i.Satisfies consideration formula—D gave up legal right to

buy boat and not charter it.

b.Contract exists before condition is met. Satisfying the condition

activates the contract.

2.If condition is outside the promisee?s power, the contract is binding.

a.“I promise to give you shelter if it rains” is binding.

ii.Conditions of Satisfaction Contracts

a.Functional Satisfaction—for example, the operative function of a

product.

i.Courts use an objective standard of …reasonable person? to

measure degree of satisfaction when a contract involves

such satisfaction requirement.

b.Satisfaction involving fancy, taste, or judgment—such as whether

one is satisfied with a portrait of themselves.

i.Here the subjective judgment of individual is the only

standard by which to measure satisfaction.

1.McCartney v Badovinac—reasonable person standard

a.Detective sues client. P was hired to find the thief of a diamond.

Detective f inds that client?s wife stole diamond. Client refuses to

pay because he was not satisfied. Detective wins suit—

reasonable person would be satisfied.

2.Morin Building Products Co. v Baystone Construction, Inc.

a.P hired by D for contract work on manufacturing facility. D

wanted buildings to be similar in color and construction. Upon

completion, D was unsatisfied and refused to pay. Jury finds that

a reasonable person would be satisfied—D loses.

3.Forman v Benson—subjective standard

a.Buyer made offer to purchase real estate paid over 10 yr period.

Seller added provision …subject to seller?s approving buyer?s

credit. Seller accepted offer but upon receiving credit report

refused to sell real estate. P?s credit did not meet D?s subjective

standard for good credit.

4.Fursmidt v Hotel Abbey Holding Corp.

a.Hotel reneges on 3yr K holding P responsible for laundry and

valet services under proviso that services must meet the approval

of hotel. P brings suit. Jury had to decide not only whether the

hotel was in fact dissatisfied (subjective) but also whether the

dissatisfaction was reasonable (objective).

iii.Requirement and Output Contracts—UCC 2-306

1.Wickham & Burton Coal Co. v Farmers? Lumber Co.—An agreement is

not mutual where there is an obligation to sell but no obligation to buy,

or an obligation to buy but no obligation to sell.

a.Where one party offers to sell as much as another party wants or

needs, there is only a contract if the buying party declares the

quantity it will take.

2.Requirement and Output contracts are valid so long as the quantity is

specified

a.There is no consideration unless there is a set quantity. Each

order is treated as a separate contract.

3.Requirement Contract—all of buyer?s demand comes from seller.

a.Seller promises to supply all of buyer?s require ments of a defined

commodity (at a stated price over a designated period of time),

and

b.Buyer promises to purchase all of his requirements of the

commodity from the seller.

c. A shut-down by a requirements buyer for lack of orders might be

permissible when a shut-down merely to curtail losses would not.

i.Test here is good faith—UCC 2-306

4.Output contract—all of sellers product goes to buyer

a.Buyer promises to buy all of a seller?s output of a given

commodity (at a stated price over a designated period of time),

and

b.The seller promises to sell all of her output of the commodity.

c. a sudden expansion in plant by which requirements are to be

measured would not be included within scope of contract

i.Test here is good faith—UCC 2-306

iv.Terminal At Will Contracts--illusory

1.Miami Coca-Cola Bottling Co v Orange Crush Co

a.Contract included a proviso which stated that licensee could

terminate the contract at any time. The contract is therefore not

binding. A 90 or even 10 day notice might have made the

contract binding.

2.Lindner v Mid-Continent Petroleum Corp.

a. A right to terminate on 10 days notice is not an illusory promise

since at the very least the lessee bound itself to pay rent for ten

days.

3.Gurfein v Werbelovsky—Not Terminable at Will

a.Buyer does not have complete freedom in a …cancel order any

time before shipment? clause, since product could be shipped on

day the order is received.

b.Such contracts are enforceable (buyer suing product manufacturer

here).

v.Notes on Illusory Promises

1.In an illusory promise as applicable to commercial transactions, one

party makes a real promise while the other uses an expression that seems

to be a real promise, but it is not because it does not limit that party?s

future conduct.

a.“I promise to do as you ask if I please to do so when the time

arrive s” is not a promise.”

2.Mattei v Hopper—K gives P-purchaser of property 120 days to produce

check and close sale, but K also provided an …out? by stipulating that P?s

obligation to close was contingent on his obtaining other satisfactory

leases.

a.K contingent upon whether P was satisfied with other land

purchases. Nevertheless CA S.Ct. held that promise was genuine

despite …satisfactory? condition.

i.Test is good faith.

b.If it were P that breached, the ct. might give satisfactory the

objective person standard.

c.O n the other hand, K seemed to lack consideration on P?s part

because he did not give up a legal right according to K terms.

d.Here a seemingly illusory promise was enforceable much like a

home-buyer waiting on a bank loan in “good faith” is enforceable.

Even though there is no consideration, the fact that it is done in

good faith makes it enforceable.

vi.Implied Promises

1.Wood v Lucy, Lady Duff-Gordan—a duty that is implied in the contract

but not specifically mentioned may not be illusory.

a. D argues that there w as no mutuality in the contract. P?s duties

were not expressed in the contract.

b.Ct. favors P in that the promise on the part of P was implied in

the contract.

d.Performance of a Legal Duty as Consideration; Modification and Waiver of Contractual

Duties.

1.Legal Duty Rule—a promise to perform an act that the promisor was

already obliged to do is not consideration.

ii.Duty to public official

1.Slattery v Wells Fargo—preexisting duty to public official bars further

consideration to perform duties.

a.Polygraph operator cannot claim reward for learning information

of a crime during the course of administering a polygraph test.

b.P had a preexisting duty to supply all information learned in test

to public.

iii.Duty to 3rd party

1.Denney v Reppert—Duty to employer bars further consideration to

perform duties.

a.Employer stopping bank robber is not entitled to reward as they

had a preexisting duty to bank to protect money.

iv.Duty to contracting Party

1.Lingenfelder v Wainright Brewery Co.-- second agreement cannot raise

price of services but have services remain the same—hold up situation

a.Architect with threats to breach contract renegotiates to include

5% of Co. profits but no new duties.

b.Arch had a preexisting duty to Co. to perform duties and

therefore not entitled to 5% of profits.

c. By taking advantage of bargaining power, P entered into a new

contract. He is estopped from collecting on this contract in virtue

of lack of consideration (did not give up a legal right as he was

already obligated by contract).

2.Foakes v Beer--new agreement cannot nullify the previous one

a.Foakes owes Beer 2000 under prior loan agreement. Beer states

that if you give me 500 now, I will waive the interest. Foakes

gives the 500 but Beer sues to collect on interest. Beer wins

b.Principle: 5 dollars cannot be satisfaction for 25 dollars.

3.Austin v Loral-- If one agrees to the promise and pays the increased price,

they cannot collect the difference in price under legal-duty rule; they

must claim duress

a.Loral sues under Duress when Austin demands an increase in

price for their services. Cannot sue for moneys under legal-duty

rule because they already gave up right to money in paying the

increased price.

b.In order to show duress Loral must show that

i.Austin didn?t deliver

ii.Attempts to find another dealer failed.

c.Duress in a Plaintiff?s strategy while the legal-duty rule is a

Defense.

v.Modification to existing contract

1.Angel v Murray—good faith renegotiations are enforceable if both

parties agree.

a.City trash collector modifies contract in response to a sudden

increase in housing developments.

b.Ct. enforces contract modification only if parties voluntarily

agree, and

i.The promise modifying original K was made before the

contract was fully performed on either side,

ii.The underlying circumstances that prompted modification

were unanticipated by parties,

iii.The modification is fair and equitable.

c.Restatement 89a

2.Sugarhouse v Anderson—Restatement 89c

a.renegotiated debt payment; plaintiff then backs out of settlement

deal after defendant has arranged new financing.

b.Promissory estoppel: plaintiff is denied from backing out of

settlement because the defendant relied on the promise and was

induced to take out a third-party loan.

c.New Consideration

3.Schwartzreich: both parties (fashion designer and his employer)

voluntarily tear up the first contract; thus able to give up legal rights in

the second contract (though the agreement is for the same performances)

a.Parties did in two steps what you can?t do in one—a …hold up?

situation? See this on final

b.New Consideration

vi.Waivers

1.Clark v West—Performance Conditions—can be waived.

a.Conditions aren?t promises

b.No drinking clause in contract made as a condition to producing

quality books on time.

c.No drinking was not consideration as Company was paying

author for books, not to abstain from drinking.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2211432641.html,pany got what they wanted despite P?s not meeting

condition.

d.The clause could be waived because it was a condition in the

contract—waiver is not modification of contract.

e.Reinstating conditions: although conditions can be waived, they

can also be reinstated with proper notice: neither of these actions

involves contract modification.

IV.Past Consideration—not bargained for but special forms of donative promises

a.If person recognizes a moral obligation and promises under one of the following

situations, it is binding (because the reason for barring enforcement is no longer an issue)

i. A Promise by an adult to pay a debt barred by the statute of limitations.

ii. A promise by an adult to pay a debt incurred when the adult was under the legal age (so that the contract was not enforceable against her).

iii. A promise to pay a debt that has been discharged in bankruptcy.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2211432641.html,ls v Wyman

i.25 yr old sick with no money taken in by P-Good Samaritan. Given shelter and

medical treatment. Young man dies. P writes letter to D-Father of Boy asking

for compensation. D writes back promising compensation, but fails to pay.

ii.Promise lacked consideration since Father did not benefit. (P did not give up legal right).

c.Webb v McGowin

i.P-worker suffers injuries in order to divert fatal log falling on D-boss. D

promises to give stipend for life.

ii.P?s promise involved consideration since he was paying a service he received—ie his life.

d.See Restatement of Contracts Second Section 86

i.In the illustrations it looks like all of the cases where past consideration is

binding contained the situation where the promisor in some way benefited prior

to making the promise (unlike Mills where the father did not benefit—and the

promise was not binding). Could this be an underlying principle? Yes, it is.

e. 3 categories of situat ions where A confers benefit on B w/o B?s prior request:

i. B is legally obliged to compensate A under the law of unjust enrichment (A paid

B money by mistake)

ii. B is morally but not legally obliged to compensate A (A suffers injury in

rescuing B)

iii. B is neither legally nor morally obliged to compensate A (A gives B a birthday gift)

1.If B later promises to compensate A, in situations (i) and (iii), B is not

legally bound to do so based on that promise.

2.Under (i) the law permits recovery whether or not B promises.

3.(ii) is enforced if promised

Expectation Remedies—the injured party should be put in the position where they would have been had the contract been performed.

I.Damages for breach of a contract to perform services

a.Breach by the person who has contracted to perform services

i.Court usually awards the lesser of the cost of performance (Caroline Nursing

Home) and the value upon completion (Peevyhouse). The exception is personal

value.

ii.Louise Caroline Nursing Home Inc. v Dix Construction—Court would award nursing home the price it would cost to complete the construction, not the value

of the completed building.

iii.Peevyhouse v Garland—Cost of restoring land to previous condition would far exceed the price of the land at that condition.

1.Diminution in value—difference between the present value of the land

and what its value would have been if D had fulfilled promise. ($300)

2.Cost of performance—amount it would cost D to fulfill promise

($29,000)

3.Awarding cost of performance would involve unreasonable economic

waste. P unlikely to use award to restore land.

iv.The ugly monument hypothetical. Value to owners vs. value to someone else.

1.If value to owner is genuinely higher than the market value, then court

might justifiably award cost of performance.

2.If construction of statue will decrease the value of the property, the

contractor cannot just take the money and claim that he owes nothing

citing the diminution of value rule. Rather, There is a good faith

personal value attached to the statue. Here cost of performance is

awarded.

v.Eastern Steamship v United States—U.S. military contract to lease steamship and return it in a similar condition.

1.Cost of repairs would be 4 million while cost of a new steamship would

be 2 mil. Court awards 2 million for new steamship. (No Personal

Value, as in Peevyhouse)

vi.H.P. Droher & Sons v Toushin—Where the cost of remedying a botched

construction performance is far greater than the benefit that would be received

from completed effort, owner can recover the difference between the value of

the land had K been completed correctly and the value of the land as it stands

with the botched job.

1.Similar to the hairy fist: recover the difference in value between what

you expect (a good hand) and what you have (a very bad hand).

vii.City Schools of Elmira v McLane Construction—Construction company builds swimming pool with ugly beams. Aesthetic value lost.

1.Cost of performance was 357,000 and diminution value was 3,000.

Court awards cost of performance.

2.If a personal value is attached to the object, court may award the cost of

performance. Otherwise, market value applies (diminution of value).

Good Faith Essential.

a.Personal Value

b.Court knew that the money awarded would be used to fix the

pool.

viii.Everything comes back to the principle: put the person forward where they

would have been had the contract been kept.

ix.Grossman Holdings v Hourihan—Contractors build house with awning not

facing sun. The price of home increased substantially since breach. Cost of

performance improper because of economic waste.

1.Diminution of value is proper: diminution of value should be measured

as of the date of the breach.

x.Ruxley v Forsyth—Cost of performance to make pool deeper would be 21,000 pounds. The diminution of value was 0.

1.Court awarded 2,500 pounds for loss of amenity—remedy for loss of fun.

(Personal value, but economically wasteful to build a new pool)

b.Breach by a person who has contracted to have services performed.

i.Aiello Construction v Nationwide tractor trailer—D stopped making installment

payments to P-contractor.

1.Formula: expected profit plus amount already spent minus amount paid.

2.An algebraically equivalent formula that courts more often use is: price

of completed contract, minus cost builder saved by not completing,

minus amount already paid.

a.This formula is a bit bett er because it doesn?t use profits (which

could be negative if the contract is a losing one).

3.Nanosecond rule: if the person breaches a nanosecond after signing the

contract, he owes the expected profits (fits the formulas above).

ii.Wired Music v Clark—No Lost Volume Provider

1.Wired music has an infinite number of product and they could have had a

contract had the new store owner moved next door and D kept contract.

2.Damages were not mitigated, so full price of K awarded

3.Lost volume provider would be a carpenter who has only one set of

hands—damages can be mitigated if carpenter takes a new job

a.When considering a lost volume provider: If there is no loss from

a second contract, then there are no damages

iii.Vitex v Caribtex—Overhead expenses cannot be deducted from lost profits.

1.$2,500,000 (K price) minus 2,100,000 (overhead—cost of production

and facility)=$400,000 profit

2. A nanosecond later the client breaches

3.Damages not just $400,000 for lost profits? No.

4.Overhead: depreciation and fixed costs. These are not to be considered

as mitigating damages because the contract price covers the overhead.

He pays the overhead ($1,5000,000) then pockets the profit ($400,000).

Award is $19,000 of lost profits.

a.Paying employees are not overhead because they are only needed

for actual production, not just the value of the facility.

II.Mitigation—Contracts for Employment.

a.Rockingham County v Luten Bridge Co.—County orders that construction of bridge be

stopped. Bridge Co. continues to build bridge and files suit when it is completed.

i.P had a duty to reasonably cut losses of the other party and not pile up damages.

b.Madsen v Murrey & Sons—100 pool tables order cancelled. Seller dismantles

customized pool tables and sells them for scrap.

i.Seller had a duty to mitigate damages by trying to sell pool tables at discounted

price.

c.In Re Kellet Aircraft Corp.—After breach, a several builders bid to complete project.

i. D argues that P did not properly mitigate damages because they did not take the

lowest bidder.

ii.Court rules that decision was reasonable, because bidder chosen had

satisfactorily performed for them in the past.

d.S.J. Groves v Warner Co.—Where both P and D have had equal opportunity to reduce

the damages by the same act, D is in no position to contend that P failed to mitigate.

e.Shirley MacLaine v Twentieth Century Fox—Film Company breaches but offers

Actress an inferior role in a film to be filmed in Australia.

i.General Rule of Wrongfully Discharged Employee: amount of salary agreed

upon less the amount that employer affirmatively proves employee has earned or

might reasonably have earned from other employment.

1.Unless the employment was of a different or inferior kind, or

employment was at a considerable distance from his home (Punkar).

ii.It is the burden of D to show that mitigating damages would not cause P undue risk/burden/humiliation.

f.Mr. Eddie v Ginsberg—Ginsberg wrongfully discharged and finds temp. job.

i.Ginsberg entitled to recover for all unemployment time before and after the

temporary job, provided he was looking for a similar job in good faith.

g.Southern Keswick v Whetherholt—P wrongfully discharged and accepts temporary

employment of an inferior and different kind.

i.P tries to recover for time while working at inferior position.

ii.Having accepted the inferior position, however, he mitigated his losses and

therefore is only entitled to recovery for time while unemployed.

iii.Had he not accepted the inferior position, he would have been entitled to full recovery.

h.Damages for the loss of opportunities to work in one?s profession

i.If P can prove that he failed to find employment in his profession after discharge,

he may be able to recover.

ii.The damages here are for hurt reputation (Redgrave—not allowed to be made famous by employment)

III.Foreseeability (limitation)

a.Hadley v Baxendale—Mill must be stopped for repair of shaft. Delivery delayed. Mill

sues for lost profits.

i.One who breaches is only liable for damages that could be foreseen at the time

the contract was executed.

ii.This is a qualification to the principle: recovery puts the person forward where they would have been had the promise been kept (provided damages resulting

from failure to perform were foreseeable at the time the contract was executed)

b.Victoria Laundry—boiler damaged in delivery and laundry service sues for lost profits.

Delivery service did not have specific knowledge of possible damages, therefore P can

collect only damages that would happen in the normal course of events.

i.Damages are foreseeable in two ways:

1.They happen in the normal course of events (general knowledge)

2.The party was told of the damages incurred upon breach (specific

knowledge)

c.Specific knowledge: K with cab driver to get P to airport in 2 hours or P will lose $1 mil

deal. Cabbie has specific knowledge and is therefore liable if he fails to perform.

Without this specific knowledge he would not be liable since it is not in the normal

course of events that delay to airport will cause loss of $1 mil deal.

d.Koufos v Czarikow—D breaches contract and causes P suffer losses from the increase

in price of sugar

i.Fall in the price was foreseeable although not certain.

ii. A 25 % chance is foreseeable, while a 2% chance is not.

iii.Only foreseeable damages at time K was executed are recoverable.

e.Hector Martinez and Co. v Southern Pacific Transp.—Machine arrives in three

shipments, the last being substantially delayed.

i.Lost Rental Value awarded--Eisenberg includes this case to show the rule of

Foreseeability is unpredictable.

f.Restatement Second 351

i.Damages are not recoverable for a loss the party did not foresee when contract

was executed.

ii.Foreseeable

1.Ordinary cause of events (general knowledge)

2.Not ordinary, but party had reason to know (specific knowledge)

IV.Certainty (limitation)

a.Kenford Co. v Erie County—Contract to build a super-stadium. City breached and

stadium was never built. Contractor sues for lost profits over 20 year period

i.In order to recover future profits as damages, P must show

1.Damages are reasonably certain and not merely speculative (comparable

with like business in similar location)

2.Damages must be within the contemplation of the parties at the time it

was executed.

ii.New Business Rule—If a new business is seeks to recover for loss of future profits, a stricter standard is imposed for the obvious reason that there does not

exist a reasonable basis of experience upon which to estimate lost profits with

the requisite certainty.

iii. A later case (Perma) added a third element for recovery of future damages that stems from the ruling in Kenford:

1.There is a rational basis by which to calculate the profits.

b.Ashland Management In

c. v Janien—P invested in a new computer program for

investing in stock market. K stated that if D left Company for any reason, he was

entitled to 15% revenue on future accounts.

i.The requirement that damages be reasonable certain does not require absolute

certainty.

ii.In this case the projection of future profits does not require speculation because the program is grounded in historical analysis of profits.

c.Rombola v Cosindas—Rombola agreed to train, maintain and race Cosindas? horse, and

Cosindas would get 25% of winnings. Horse won several times and before a meet

Cosindas took possession of horse and refused to race her.

i.Damages were awarded based on horse?s success at previous races.

ii.Certainty grounded in track record.

d.Contemporary Mission v Famous Music—Famous music had an obligation to use

reasonable efforts to promote Virgin on a nationwide basis (under Wood v Lucy).

i.Court admits evidence of records with similar chart numbers that subsequently

rise in the charts and increase profits. Damages awarded based on performance

of records rated similarly in the charts.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2211432641.html,paring P with others in the past who got as far as she did, P recovered.

e.Restatement Second Contracts 352—Damages are not recoverable for loss beyond the

amount the evidences establishes with reasonable certainty.

f.In cases where a promoter wrongfully disqualifies contestant, the chance to win should

be treated as an asset.

i.Eisenberg suggests that the value of a chance to win would be what a willing

buyer of the chance would pay to a willing seller

ii.Eisenberg suggests that this rule should apply to lost profits as well: lost profits should be measured by what a willing buyer would have paid for the pre-breach

assignment of P?s right to earn profits under the contract.

g.The right to make profit is an asset and can be measured by Capital Asset Pricing Model

(CAPM)—a formula measuring expected cash flow.

i.Risk and uncertainty is factored into this formula

ii.40% chance of making 25 mil, 50% chance of making 30 mil, and a 10 %

chance of making 40 mil over the next 10 years. The award based on this

formula would be 29 million

1.(10 + 15 + 4 = 29).

iii.Second best alternative: minimum amount that is more probable than not (30 mil in the example above).

h.Mears v Nationwide—contest prize of 2 Mercedes. Nationwide failed to deliver

claiming that contract was too indefinite to enforce because there was a wide range of

Mercedes models new and used.

i.Under a reasonable interpretation of the contest contract, jury could expect

Mercedes to be new.

V.Damages for Mental Distress

a.Valentine v General American Credit—P sues for mental damages when she was fired.

The discharge of employment was a breach of contract on D?s part.

i.Although the damages of mental distress may have been foreseeable at the time

the contract was executed, there can be no recovery for mental damages

resulting from a breach of employment contract. (tort, not a contract claim) ii.Exception: contracts were entered into for personal interests and not pecuniary gain

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2211432641.html,ne v Kindercare Learning Centers—child locked in daycare with no supervision.

i.Holding: damages may be awarded for emotional distress caused by a breach of

a personal contract even where the emotional distress does not result in a

physical injury.

ii.Damages for emotional distress may be recovered for the breach of a contract in cases that do not involve commercial or pecuniary contracts, but involve

contracts of personal nature.

c.Jarvis v Sean Tours—P sold a vacation package that was a flop.

i.If Contract providing entertainment or enjoyment is breached, recovery may be

allowed for disappointment, loss of enjoyment, distress, and frustration caused

by the breach.

ii.Personal Interest in vacation (not pecuniary)

d.Jackson v Horizon Holidays—Facts similar to Jarvis except breach involved entire

family.

i.P could recover damages for the mental distress suffered by whole family not

just himself.

e.Deitsch v Music Co—Wedding band did not show. P recovered for distress,

inconvenience, and diminution in the value of wedding reception.

i.Personal Interest in entertainment (not pecuniary)

VI.Liquidated Damages—(“reduced to cash” clauses)

a.Wasserman?s Inc. v Middleton

i.Penalty Clauses v Liquidated Damages Clauses

1.Liquidated damages are the sum a party agrees to pay upon breach of

contract as an estimate in advance of the actual damages that will likely

ensue from breach.

a.Made to avoid litigation—but courts must ensure that remedy

does not stray too far from legal principles.

2.Penalties are the sum a party agrees to pay in the event of a breach and

act as punishment or threat designed to prevent the breach.

ii.Liquidated damages are enforceable. Penalties are not enforceable.

1.In order to be considered liquidate damages, clause must constitute a

reasonable forecast of injury resulting from breach.

iii.Two moments by which to measure the reasonableness of the liquidated

damages.

1.At the time the contract was executed

2.At the time the contract was breached

iv.If damages provided for in contract are grossly disproportionate to actual harm, court will likely find provisions unreasonable and thereby unenforceable.

v.Damages have to have some degree of uncertainty in order to recover for

liquidated damages. If damages are certain, liquidated damages do not apply

because actual damages will be relevant.

b.If damages are uncertain at the time the contract is executed, but certain at the time of

the breach, then liquidated damages clause does not apply.

i.Must be uncertain at the time the contract is executed and at the time it is

breached

c.Hutchinson v Tompkins—Pembroke Rule and the Hyman Rule

i.Hyman—in order for clause to be penalty, damages must be ascertainable at the

time of the drawing of contract—Hutchinson

ii.Pembroke—in order for clause to be penalty, damages must be ascertainable at the time of the breach—Oldsmobile

d.Liquidated damages are enforceable when

i.The estimation was reasonable?

ii.The damages are not ascertainable?

Specific Performance

I.Specific Performance is an equitable form of relief.

Like service, if thing is uqiuefungible thing can use damage

a.London Bucket v Stewart—P demands specific performance in breach of installation of

heating system for large Motel

i.Specific performance should not have been decreed because damages are

fungible.

b.Restatement Second of Contracts

i.359: Specific performance will not be ordered if damages would be adequate to

protect expectation interest of the injured party

ii.360: In determining the remedy the following factors are significant

1.The difficulty in proving damages with reasonable certainty

2.The difficulty of procuring a suitable substitute performance by means of

money

3.The likelihood that award of damages would not be collected.

c.Walgreen Co. v Sara Creek Property—Sara Creek shopping mall allowed a phar mor to

open on anchor premises in breach of contract with Walgreen co containing exclusivity clause.

i.Benefits of substituting injunction for damages

1.Shifts the burden of determining the cost of D?s conduct from the court

to the parties.

a.There must be a price for dissolving the injunction that would

make both parties better off, and having the parties negotiate this

price would save court time and money of finding that price.

b.Prices and costs are more accurately determined by market than

by court.

ii.Costs of substituting injunction for damages.

1.Continuing supervision by court

2.Bilateral monopoly—parties can negotiate only between themselves

3.Negotiation costs may be high

4.Building reputation as hard bargainer may cause the process to break

down.

iii.Not every case involving an exclusivity clause in real estate should award injunctions.

iv.Only when damages are difficult to estimate and the injunction is a one-shot remedy requiring no continuing judicial involvement.

d.Stokes v Moore—clause in employment contracted stated if terminated for any reason,

D could not engage in similar work in same city for one year.

i.Injunction as a liquidated damage is not necessarily enforceable.

e.Van Wagner Advertising v S & M Enterprises—breach in contract containing billboard

at a prime location.

i.No injunctions because P has adequate remedy of damages.

ii.Injunctions awarded when

1.Expectation damages are uncertain

2.Performance is Unique (not fungible)

a.Uniqueness Test: performance is one of a kind or has no

established market value.

i.No injunction for creative performances (can?t order

Pavarotti to sing)

ii.No injunction if continued judicial involvement is

necessary

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2211432641.html,Clede Gas v Amoco Oil—Amaco breached contract involving the delivery of gas to

Laclede for distribution in a residential area.

i.Court awards specific performance because Laclede?s contract with Amaco is

long term 10 years with a specific date of termination and Lacl ede?s contracts

with other suppliers will soon end.

1.Damages uncertain because we don?t know who they will be buying

propane from in the future.

2.Not unique but not readily available on the market right then. (no

established market value)

g.Weathersby v Gore—D refused to sell cotton at contract price. Market Price was 5

cents more than contract price at time of breach. By the time P brought suit, cotton was

50 cents above contract price.

i. Damages were to be valued at the price of cotton at the time of the breach (5

cents more).

ii.Damages certain

h.Contracts for the sale of land

i.Specific performance often awarded for breach

1.Difficulty in determining market value

2.Real Estate usually unique

ii.Mutuality of remedy no longer a good argument for specific performance

i.Employment Contracts

i.Not specifically enforced because courts believe it is unwise to attempt to

extract from an unwilling party a performance involving personal relations. The Reliance and Restitution Measures

I.Reliance Damages in a Bargain Context

a.Security Stove v American RYS. Express—Delivery Company failed to deliver all parts

to a convention to show and not to sell the item.

i.Expectation damage are uncertain because stove not for sale.

ii.P collected for travel expenses to convention

iii.These are not quite reliance damages because P collected on expenditures before the promise was made. (Quasi-Reliance)

1.Put P where he would have been had the promise not been made

b.Anglia television LTD v Reed—Actor breached contract to star in TV movie. P sues

for reliance damages.

i.Actor must have foreseen the expenses a movie production company would

incur in relying upon D?s performance.

ii.Reliance damages awarded. (again, quasi-reliance here)

iii.Uncertainty is the justification: when you can?t prove lost profits, sometimes

you get quasi-reliance damages.

c.Beefy Trail v Beefy King—Expectation damages difficult to determine but reliance

damages discernable. Reliance damages awarded.

i.Reliance damages awarded based on the amount of money P …bet? on gaining a

profit.

d.L. Albert & Son v Armstrong Rubber—P may recover reliance performance minus the

amount D can show P would have lost had the contract been performed. (losing K

example)

e.Westside Galvanizing Services v Georgia-Pacific—GP building new facility at paper

mill contracts with SouthEastern to furnish steel. Westside contracted with southeastern

to galvanize steel before it was shipped. Westside was to ship galvanized steel directly

to GP but was to send invoices to Southeastern for payment.

i.Southeastern defaulted on both contracts. Westside stopped shipping, but GP

persuaded WS to ship steel indicating that GP would make sure they were paid

(Promise).

ii.WS was not paid and sued GP for the amount that was owed by SE.

iii.Court held that WS could sue GP but only for its reliance damages measured by the value of shipments made after GP?s promise to WS, and not for all of SE?s

obligation to WS

iv.Awarded under the theory of detrimental reliance

1.Measured by the extent of promisee?s reliance and not the terms of the

promise.

II.The Restitution Measure

a.Restitutionary Damages for Breach of Contract

i.Osteen v Johnson—P-county singer paid D $2,500 to promote her by recording

two albums, each consisting of two songs, and send the albums, one at a time, to

DJs around the country. P sent the first out album, it received substantial radio

play, but failed to send the second album. .

1.Material Breach is one that goes to the essence of the contract.

2.Court rules that failure to press and send out the second album

constituted a material breach on part of D.

3. D did perform part but not all of his duties and damages should be

awarded accordingly—conferred benefit.

a.Trial court will determine the reasonable value of the services D

already rendered on P?s behalf and restore to P the remaining

amount.

ii.Restatement Second of Contracts, 370

1.In order to recover restitution damages, a benefit must be conferred.

a.For example, there can be no restitution damages in a situation

where A contracts B to make a machine for 100 and breaches

after B has spent 40 making machine so far.

b.No restitution for B, but probably expectation (cost incurred more

expected profit, or K price less amount saved by not completing).

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2211432641.html, v Algernon Blair—D-Blair contracted a subcontractor-Coastal Steel to

perform steel erection. D failed to pay P for crane rental, which constituted a

breach of contract. D terminated performance and seeks quantum meriut

(restitution) for work completed.

1.P conferred benefit on D by partially completing steel erection and

therefore is entitled to recover the value of services rendered.

2.Measure of recovery for restitution is the reasonable value of

performance

a.Recovery is undiminished by any loss which would have been

incurred by complete performance.

b.Even in losing K, if opposing party breaches before substantial

performance, P can collect for the benefit conferred.

iv.Oliver v Campbell—D hired P-attorney for counsel in divorce proceedings until final judgment for $850. Just before proceedings ended, D discharged P. At the

time of discharge P was paid $550, but claims to have serviced D in the amount

of $5000.

1.One who is unlawfully discharged may sue for restitution damages and

recover for the value of services performed, even if the value of services

performed exceeds the K price.

2.Here, court rules that P substantially performed duties at the time of

breach and therefore is only able to recover expectation damages ($300).

v.G. Palmer, The Law of Restitution

1.When P has fully performed his obligations under K, restitution of the

value of P?s performance is regularly denied. Rather, P can only recover

on the agreed price.

2.Restitution of value of performance is available only upon partial

performance.

vi.Restitutionary damages are based on the benefit conferred, while reliance

damages are based on the costs incurred.

vii.Expectation as a Cap on Reliance Damages

1. A promisee who has entered into a losing K under, which he has

conferred benefit on promisor who breaches, can recover market value of

benefit even if that value exceeds the K price.

2.Under reliance damages, expectancy works as a cap because one cannot

rely on a value more than they expect, even in a losing K.

a.Reliance refers to relying on the terms of the K.

b.Restitution in Favor of a Plaintiff in Default

i.Kutzin v Pirnie—D put down a deposit of $36,000 on a house costing $365,000.

1.D?s loss was less than deposit price, therefore retaining deposit works as

a penalty.

2.If a party fails to perform, but has conferred benefit, the party in breach

is entitled to restitution for the benefit conferred in excess of the loss that

he caused by his own breach.

3.Court rules that D is entitled to restitution for the deposit less the

difference between house at K price and house at price at which the

house actually sold.

4.Court specifies that this rule is applied to K without a liquidated damages

clause.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2211432641.html, Palmer Construction v Cal State Electric—If the breaching party has

conferred benefit rather than a detriment, it would unjustly enrich the innocent

party and unduly punish the breaching party if the latter received nothing for its

services.

1.Breaching party can not recover more than the K price, however. To

allow this would give an incentive to breach.

iii.Vines v Orchard Hills—The burden is on the breaching party to show that the party with benefit conferred was in fact unjustly enriched.

III.Breach and Response

a.The Order of Performance

i.Restatement Second

1.233: If performance can be rendered at one time it is due at one time

(unless otherwise stated in K)

2.234: If performance can be rendered simultaneously, they are due

simultaneously (unless otherwise stated in K)

ii.Note on Concurrent Conditions

1.The party bringing suit has the burden of proving the other party was in

default and not himself.

2.Rule: where performances are to be simultaneous, neither can recover

unless something has been done to put the other in default.

3.Concurrent Conditions: where the performances of the promises in K are

to be concurrent, then it is normally a condition that one party?s

performance is necessary to put the other in default.

b.Material Breach: Failure of Performance By One Party as an Excuse for

Nonperformance by the Other

i.K&G Constr. V Harris—P-contractor hires D-subcontractor to do earthmoving

work on site. Bulldozer of D damaged P?s house and D refused to pay

installment payment.

1.Issue is whether P had a right to refuse the progress

2.Court rules that D?s failure to perform in a workmanlike manner

(damaging house) constituted a material breach.

3.If owner fails to make progress payments for failure to substantially

perform, the contractor (subcontractor in this case) is not justified in

abandoning work.

4.Such abandonment will itself be a breach of K.

5.Total breach and partial breach

a.Contractor in this case could have called off work at the initial

breach, which would have constituted a total breach.

b.Contractor chose to treat breach as a partial breach by permitting

the subcontractor to proceed with work.

6.P was not at fault and D breached the K a second time when he

terminated performance.

7.P awarded the loss of hiring a second sub-contractor to complete the

work

ii. E. Allen Farnsworth, Contracts

1. A contract is said to be divisible if performances exchanged can be

divided into corresponding pairs of part performances in such a way that

a court will treat the parts of each pair as if the parties agreed they were

equivalents

2.Two requirements

a.Parties performances can be apportioned into corresponding pairs

b.The parts of each pair are agreed equivalents

3. A divisible contract isolates the parts of the K so that if one part is

breached, it is not necessarily deemed that the K is breached in its

entirety.

iii.Walker and Co. v Harris—P-lessor agrees to construct, install and maintain a sign for D to be paid in monthly installments. Title to the sign reverts to lessee

upon the expiration of the agreement.

1.Sign defaced by tomato, rust, and cobwebs and D doesn?t pa y monthly

installments claiming that P breached K by failing to maintain the sign

after repeated requests to do so.

2.Court warns that if a party breaches K by his own determination that the

opposing party breached, he better be sure the opposing party breached.

a.If his own breach was unwarranted, the repudiator himself will be

guilty of material breach.

3.Court finds that P did not breach contract and that D?s subsequent breach

was material.

4.Question remains as to whether K for the sign was a sale or a lease.

Court awards P the acceleration of the “rentals” due, which was the cash

price of the sign.

iv.Zula Steel v A&M Gregos—P-Subcontractor left job after D-prime contractor failed to make progress payments
