A. Current price transaction looks like an arms-length bargain but one party's promise appears illusory, courts often will look to the context of the agreement and identify an implied non-illusory promise such that the consideration requirement is satisfied. 1. Letter to Little Buyer offer? rejection by entering into a substitute transaction, he is excused from performance obligations B.
b. Was there a misstatement of material fact? Yes, because it is information that influenced, in this case, the buyer into acting in a certain way or making a certain decision. c. Did Stein suffer a loss as a result of Gortino’s actions? There isn't enough information to decide if Stein suffered a loss.
The question is whether the competition is covered by statutes implying that refund of competition fee is attainable should the competitor be unfit to take on the competition. Jenny cannot take the law of frustration in consideration, because it will only bring an advantage to the opposite party, and not to her, hence the law of frustration sets aside the contract. Law There are three reasons why terms may be implied into a contract. First, where a term is required to give business efficacy to the contract these terms are generally known as terms implied by fact. Secondly, where terms flow from the obligations of the common law or statute these terms are called terms implied by law.
DECISION: Affirmed in favor of appellee (Durham). Refund of purchase price affirmed. DISCUSSION: Appellants claim that there was evidence that they held good title or at leas voidable title and therefore had the right to sell. Court finds it unequivocal that a person who has goods of another cannot pass title whether such other knew or did not know that goods were stolen. It is undisputed that the automobile is stolen and title is void.
E&Y reasoned this as it creates an exception to the general rule of reserving for expected future product returns at the gross sales price and deferring the recognition of an equal amount of revenue. This justification is invalid. The company’s customers are not “ultimate customers,” but are wholesalers that sold their product to retailers. In addition, Medicis’s returns were not returns of products in exchange for products of “the same kind, quality, and price,” but of unsalable product for
This means that even if it was his responsibility to deliver the order he would not have done so because, as it also states in Source 3, he is headstrong so he is self-willed, portraying that Nolan is to blame for the disaster of the Charge of the Light Brigade by refusing to follow orders. Source 2 implies that Lucan was to blame and not Nolan, however, the man who wrote the
To show this, the plaintiff claimed that because the defendant knew the plaintiff was Caruso’s next of kin; a duty to the plaintiff was therefore formed. The defendant filed a motion to strike the negligence claim on the grounds that it failed to state a cognizable legal duty and failed to allege facts to support a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress. (More Law) They also argued that the alleged facts did not show negligence on their part. They instead felt the plaintiff’s allegations of negligence, in its view, were fatally flawed because they failed to establish the existence of any legal relationship that would have imposed on the defendant a duty of care to the plaintiff. (More Law) In Del Core’s view, she felt the defendant’s untimely manner in informing her of her brother’s death would foreseeably hinder her from making proper arrangements for her brother’s burial.
See Thompson v. Thompson, 6 Va. App. 277, 367 S.E.2d 747 (1988). The agreement in the Derby case is invalid and on the grounds of unconscionability and constructive fraud or duress due to concealment and misrepresentations along with circumstances in signing such agreement. Derby, 378 S.E.2d at 74. “Marital property settlements entered into by competent parties upon valid consideration for lawful purposes are favored in the law and such will be enforced unless their illegality is clear and certain.” Cooley v. Cooley, 220 Va. 749, 752, 263 S.E.2d 49, 52
There are four different types of misrepresentation – Fraudulent, negligent, innocent and misrepresentation under the Misrepresentation Act 1967. Fraudulent misrepresentation occurs when an individual knowingly and deliberately makes a false statement which is intended to entice (in this instance) the customer. Negligent misrepresentation occurs when someone makes a statement which they have reasonable grounds to believe is true, but is found to be untrue due to their lack of effort or sloppiness to keep up with the statements reliability. Innocent misrepresentation happens when a party makes a statement which they fully believe to be true and have made reasonable steps to acquire their knowledge, however the statement is untrue; In the case of Leaf v International Art Galleries 1950 Leaf bought a painting from International Art Galleries to find five years later that the painting was a fake, however it was such a good fake that International Galleries was none the wiser and sold the painting as an original and the court held that International Art selling the painting was an innocent misrepresentation. The
This thinking is also reflected in the Privy Council case of Air Jamaica v Charlton 1999, where Lord Millet said: “But [a resulting trust] arises whether or not the transferor intended to retain a beneficial interest - he almost always does not - since it responds to the absence of any intention on his part to pass a beneficial interest to the recipient.” This argument was put forward in the recent theses of Birks-Chambers that the the key to the resulting trust was not the intention to create a trust, but the intention of the donor not to benefit the recipient. The statement by Lord Browne-Wilkinson however shows a flawed approach at looking at intention by means of deducing a presumed intention. To presume an intention would be going against the fundamentals of trust. To create a trust the intention must be manifested or expressed and the the courts have placed increasing importance on the intention of the parties when determining whether there is a trust or not. The perceived artificiality of presumed intentions in the resulting trust doctrine has led courts to move away from it affirmed by the House of Lords in Stack v Dowden [2007] UKHL 17; [2007] A.C. 432.
