Case Study – Scuppernong Grapes In case study number two, Don forms a relationship with my family business in purchasing of Scuppernong grapes. The relationship, albeit not perfect, remained mutually beneficial until recent events that have created a legal crossroads. This posting will provide a background leading to current events and the potential challenges based on the decisions that both parties choose to make. Additionally, the paper will explore in detail the specific legal charges or defenses that both sides have to weigh in their decision-making process. Ultimately, because of less than honest business tactics by Don, I do not believe continuing the business relationship is in either party’s best interests. Background Don had been purchasing grapes, and products made from the grapes, for a period of time. He had not been timely with payments; however, he ultimately always paid. Without communicating to me …show more content…

Blanchard (2014) states this as, “The obligation of good faith and fair dealing is oftentimes referred to as a “gap filler” in that it is intended to fill in the gaps of written contracts.” (para. 9). Don does have a signed contract and he has a proven history of business transactions. His argument is that beyond a legal commitment, I have a moral obligation to continue to provide him products. Legal Defense On the surface it would appear as though Don’s contract has bound my company to continue providing products, ultimately resulting in the loss of the windfall deal. The two primary reasons that Don’s contract is not binding is the fact that he had my 17-year old son sign and that he acted outside of good faith. Don used deceit and the naivety of a child to secure a contract. He chose not to communicate directly with me and now believes he is on legal high ground to demand contract

to show: (A) there was a purported fiduciary relationship; or (B) the relationship was one of subjugation or “dominion and influence.” Each of these deficiencies alone necessitates a dismissal of Dr. Stout’s constructive fraud cause of action under Rule 12(b)(6). The Court has explained the elements necessary to maintain a constructive fraud cause of action: A constructive fraud complaint must allege facts and circumstances (1) which created the relation of trust and confidence, and (2) led up to and surrounded the consummation of the transaction in which defendant is alleged to have taken advantage of his position of trust to the hurt of plaintiff.

Although the contract would not need to be in writing because of the main benefit exception, it is still dealing with real property and therefore, falls under the Statute of Frauds. The issue is whether Puck can claim a part performance based exception to the Statute of Frauds. The rule is that an oral contract for the sale of real property may be removed from the Statute of Frauds if the part-performance is “unequivocally referable” to the terms of the contract. For example, in Beaver v. Brumlow, the Brumous entered into an oral contract with the Beavers for the sale of their land. The Brumlows spent $85,000 making improvements to the land, creating sewage lines and other permanent constructions.

The court adopted the buyer’s argument in part, holding that although sophisticated business parties have the freedom to contract out of a claim of rescission for unintentional contractual misrepresentations within a contract, “when a seller intentionally misrepresents a fact embodied in a contract—that is, when a seller lies—public policy will not permit a contractual provision to limit the remedy of the buyer to a capped damage claim. Rather, the buyer is free to press a claim for rescission or for full compensatory damages. ”111 So the ABRY case held that in acquisition agreements with exclusive remedy provisions, (1) a seller who makes a representation cannot limit its own liability when that seller intentionally misrepresents a fact, or “lies”, and (2) a seller not making the offending representation will be liable when that seller “knew that the Company’s contractual representations and warranties were
