In Contract I material you have read about formation of contract, along with the elements for its formation, the effect of an already formed contract and other important points. In this material, you will find the methods and mechanism of protecting your right if the contract suffers from defects in consent as it is enunciated in the Contract Law I material or if you need to cancel the contract for different reasons. The consequences of cancellation and invalidation of contracts with other means of extinction of contract are dealt within Chapter One of this material. Again, it is to be recalled from contract one reading material that the autonomy of the parties to make their own contract is one of the corner stones on which the law of contract seeded. Chapter Two of this material will take you further and strengthen your understanding of the issue by discussing some very common terms of contract, their implication and the position of the law in their interpretation when the parties fail to regulate it in their contract. In contract I, it is provided that at least two parties are needed for the formation of a contract. In light of this, it is not uncommon to find more than two parties involved in one contract. In Chapter Three of this material, therefore, you will find some principles and rules dealing with the plurality of parties shaped in a way to give you precise but adequate notes. In Chapter Four of this material, surety ship will be discussed. In reading this chapter, you have to relate the notes with your daily activities and to visualize some

  • Contracts of Adhesion-Some Thoughts About Freedom of Contract
    CONTRACTS OF ADHESION-SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT FREEDOM OF CONTRACT FRIEDRICH KESSLER With the development of a free enterprise system based on an un- heard of division of labor, capitalistic society needed a highly elastic legal institution to safeguard the exchange of goods and services on the market. Common law lawyers, responding to this social need, trans- formed "contract" from the clumsy institution that it was in the six- teenth century into a tool of almost unlimited usefulness and pliability. Contract thus became the indispensable instrument of the enterpriser, enabling him to go about his affairs in a rational way. Rational be- havior within the context of our culture is only possible if agreements will be respected. It requires that reasonable expectations created by promises receive the protection of the law or else we will suffer the fate of Montesquieu's Troglodytes, who perished because they did not ful- fill their promises. This idea permeates our whole law of contracts, the doctrines dealing with their formation, performance, impossibility and damages. Under a free enterprise system rationality of the law of contracts has still another aspect.1 To keep pace with the constant widening of the market the legal system has to place at the disposal of the members of the community an ever increasing number of typical business trans- actions and regulate their consequences. But the law cannot possibly anticipate the content of an infinite number of atypical transactions into which members of the community may need to enter. Society, therefore, has to give the parties freedom of contract; to accommodate the business community the ceremony necessary to vouch for the delib- erate nature of a transaction has to be reduced to the absolute minimum.

  • Re-Defining Privity of Contract: Brown V. Belleville (City) 731
    RE-DEFINING PRIVITY OF CONTRACT: BROWN V. BELLEVILLE (CITY) 731 RE-DEFINING PRIVITY OF CONTRACT: BROWN V. BELLEVILLE (CITY) M.H. OGILVIE* I. INTRODUCTION The classical definition of the common law doctrine of privity states that “a contract cannot (as a general rule) confer rights or impose obligations arising under it on any person except the parties to it.”1 The latter part of the proposition is uncontroversial since it is universally acknowledged to be unjust for parties to agree to impose an obligation on an unsuspecting other and thereby be able to sue to enforce that obligation. The former part of the proposition is controversial, particularly where the expressed purpose of the contract is to bestow a benefit on another. The controversial part of that proposition is the implication that a third party could, by virtue of the contract, obtain a legal right to sue to enforce an agreement made for the third party’s benefit when the third party is not a party to the consideration, that is, has contributed nothing to the exchange, and, therefore, should not be entitled to enforce the agreement. By definition, contract law is about the enforcement of promises exchanged by the parties who have voluntarily consented and contributed to that exchange, and anticipate benefiting from it in a way meaningful to each other. The doctrine of consideration serves the important function of identifying the parties to the exchange, but it does not necessarily identify who is to benefit from it; a party to the consideration could well have entered the agreement to purchase something to bestow as a gift on another in the future.

VII* Contraets and Commereial Law Gerald L. Bepko* During the past year there have been several interesting de- velopments in Indiana involving contract and commercial law. The following discussion is a cursory review of some of the most significant of those developments. Some matters which might logically be considered here are discussed in the section of this survey on consumer law. This section does not duplicate that discussion. Most significant among these other matters are developments in the subject of remedies for breach of contract. First, the Indiana Court of Appeals continued to approve punitive damage awards in breach of contract actions where the defendant's conduct was oppressive;^ secondly, the In- diana General Assembly amended a provision of the Sales Article of the Uniform Commercial Code to provide for the recovery of attorneys' fees in fraud actions.^ A, Statute of Frauds It is not unusual for a person who has been disappointed with the results of some medical procedure to sue the person under whose care the procedure was administered claiming not only negligence, but also breach of contract to produce a specific medical result.^ In cases of this kind, defendants have often ar- **''Ashman, Contracts .

    Case 3:13-cv-02852-D Document 44 Filed 11/06/14 Page 1 of 25 PageID <pageID> IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS DALLAS DIVISION ABRAHAM SHAKERI, et al., § § Plaintiffs, § § Civil Action No. 3:13-CV-2852-D VS. § § ADT SECURITY SERVICES, INC. § d/b/a ADT, § § Defendant. § MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER In this removed action seeking damages arising from the armed robbery of a jewelry store, defendant Tyco Integrated Security LLC, f/k/a ADT Security Services, Inc. (“ADT”)1 moves under Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b) and 12(b)(6) to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims for fraudulent inducement and violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act (“DTPA”), Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Ann. §§ 17.41-17.63 (West 2011), and it seeks to limit to $1,000 the amount of damages that can be recovered for breach of contract. For the reasons explained, the court denies ADT’s Rule 9(b) motion, grants its Rule 12(b)(6) motion, holds that the damages for breach of contract are capped at $1,000, and raises sua sponte that ADT is entitled to dismissal of plaintiffs’ separate claim for breach of the implied warranty of good and workmanlike performance of services. 1ADT Security Services, Inc. changed its name to Tyco Integrated Security LLC in June 2012. Because the name change occurred after the events giving rise to this litigation, the court will refer to the defendant as ADT.

UNCONSCIONABILITY: THE APPROACH OF THE LOUISIANA CIVIL CODE Ronald L. Hersbergen* INTRODUCTION In 1975 Louisiana became the fiftieth state to enact the Uniform Commercial Code, but unlike its sister states, Louisiana omitted several UCC articles. As of 1983, UCC articles 2, 6, and 9 remain unadopted in Louisiana, and only article 6 remains under serious con- sideration for adoption by the Louisiana State Law Institute. For the present, articles 2 and 9 appear to be dead-letters in Louisiana, the apparent reason for inaction being a perception that the two articles are incompatible with Louisiana's underlying Civil Code principles.' By not enacting article 2 of the UCC, Louisiana remains, with Califor- nia, a jurisdiction without section 2-3022- not the most important sec- tion in the UCC, perhaps, but by far the most interesting one. The UCC section 2-302 comment advises that the section is, in essence, a grant of power to the courts to "police" contracts within the UCC's ambit and, in the court's discretion, to refuse to enforce Copyright 1983, by LOUISIANA LAW REVIEW.
