Disadvantages Of Misrepresentation

1) General Rule – Contract damages should put the π in as good of a position as if the contract was fulfilled.

            A misrepresentation is a statement made that is not unified with the truth. There are two categories that misrepresentation can fall under: either innocent or fraudulent. When a misrepresentation is innocent it was made not intentionally to deceive the other party. A fraudulent misrepresentation is made with the intent to deceive with knowledge that it is false. Tommy wants to pursue legal action against Royal 16 Theater on the basis that they conducted fraudulent misrepresentation.

The UCC permits the breaching party (subject to some limitations) to “retract” his or her repudiation. This can be done by any method that clearly indicates the party’s intent to perform. Once retraction is made, the rights of the repudiating party under the contract are reinstated. The breaching party cannot retract the repudiation. However, if since the time of the repudiation the other party has canceled or materially changed position or otherwise indicated that the repudiation is final. [UCC 2-611, 2A-403]

Have you ever been done wrong? Have you ever been done wrong under a contract and faced sufficient damages causing a loss? Chapter 18 focuses on contract remedies, and how damages to a party are compensated. When a party breaches a contract, under the law the court can give the injured party an equivalent of what the promised performance would have rewarded. The two cases I chose to discuss are the Arrowhead School District No. 75, Park County, Montana v. James A. Klyap, Jr. case and the Parker v. Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. case. Both of these cases provide us with a very good explanation of different types of damages, and how the court came to a conclusion based off of the different scenarios. Throughout the remainder of this article, it will briefly discuss the details of each case, the similarities and differences among them, and how your business clients can use these cases to strategically prevent future legal issues of similar nature.

If Seller fails to comply with this contract for any other reason, Seller will be in default and Buyer may, as Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this contract and receive from Seller the deposit, thereby releasing both parties from the contract.

There are four remedies for breach of contract under UCC Article 2. Categorized as remedies of law; the first is compensatory damages, which cover direct losses and costs. Compensatory damages are an attempt to put the non-breaching party in the same position it would have been had they not suffered the breach. Second are consequential damages, which are to cover indirect and foreseeable losses not covered by compensatory damages. Third is restitution to prevent the unjust enrichment of one party in the agreement. Fourth, liquidated damages are provisions agreed to by the parties when drawing up the contract in the event of a default or breach of contract by either party (Melvin, 2011).

Holding/Judgement: The Court of Special Appeals, reversed the Circuit Court, holding that the Letter of intent is not a binding contract between the parties as it states, that the Buyers were to send the Maryland Realtors contract for the formation of the contract and also that the Maryland Realtors Contract cannot be considered as a valid contract as the Seller did not accept the contract.

In this article, Justine Kirby (2000) analyzes the basic law, section 11 of the Contractual Remedies Act 1979, and acknowledged routines for "exchanging" commitments, and after

Injured party has right to sue right away. A repudiating party can retract/withdraw the AR, as long as the retraction comes to the injured party’s attention before the injured party materially changes his position in reliance on the repudiation. A non-repudiating party can ignore/waive the AR by putting off their ability to sue immediately and saying they’ll wait till law day to see if the party will perform. A non-repudiating party has an obligation to mitigate damages if there is an AR. A non-repudiating party can provide the repudiating party time to repent the AR. If all that’s left in an agreement is to pay money, AR does not apply; cannot sue until you wait to see if payments will be made. Insolvency is not an AR but a perspective inability to perform. A non-repudiating party may demand assurance for an AR and

The rule that courts will imply a term that was overlooked when the contract was being made, as it was so obvious

F. Continuation of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (if any) shall continue in full force and effect after execution of this agreement. If either party later learns that a warranty or representation that it made is untrue, it is under a duty to promptly disclose this information to the other party in writing. No representation or warranty contained herein shall be deemed to have been waived or impaired by any investigation made by or knowledge of the other party to this Agreement.

To lie by omission is another way some people choose to tell a lie. To lie by omission means to intentionally omit a vital piece or pieces of information leaving the other person with a misconception. For instance, a wife asks her husband if he were at the night club, the husband tells his wife that he is working late, which is true, however, he omit’s the fact that he also visited the night club. Lying by omission undermines the truth. It is often used to manipulate someone into altering their behavior to suit the desire of the deceiver. The lie is not the words or lack of words; the omission is the intention of the deceiver. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre- existing misconceptions.

A Contract requires several elements in order to be considered enforceable. However for the purpose of this essay we would explore one of these elements in order to effectively understand the controversial cases of Williams v Roffey Brothers and Nicholls (contractors) Ltd (1990) and Stilk v Myrick (1804). Before going any further one should briefly understand the doctrine of Consideration. Despite the vast amount of content written, the doctrine of consideration is still to this day unclear due to the inconsistency of the courts and its application of necessary rules. Consideration refers to that which the law deems as valuable in that the promisor receives from the promise that which was promised. In other words, it is the exchange of something of value between the parties in a contract. One should be mindful that in English law, every promise may not be legally enforceable; it requires the court to distinguish between are enforceable and non-enforceable obligations. This brings us to the controversial cases of Stilk v Myrick and Williams v the Roffery brothers. Many argue that that the case of Williams was wrongly decided leading to impairments in the rule initially established in Stilk v Myrick. This essay seek to analyse and critique the cases of Stilk v Myrick and Williams v Roffey Brothers and also highlight whether or not the new rule of Practical benefit lead to serious impairments in later cases.

Introduction: In this assignment I will go over a few legal terms in relation to contract law. I will also talk about a few precedents that help explain the law.
