Nike Sues Adidas over Soccer Player- Zheng’s Contract

However, contracting parties can also treat breach as material when expressly provided, even if objectively– the effect of that breach is unimportant. This is interpreted in Wade v Waldon, where the Lord President sets the criteria for rescission as a matter about the terms of the contract– whether stipulations go “to the root of the contract”, than the breach itself (Wade v Waldon, 1909 ).

According to the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) “good faith” is the belief that those involved in a contract will act honestly and fairly. That is saying that those entering a contract will act in and honest and fair manner in regards to the contracts they are entering. The obligations of good faith are part of every contract under the UCC. They act as the framework for the parties entering a contract. An example of good faith is car insurance. A person pays monthly for car insurance with the understanding that their insurance company will cover a certain amount in damages if the car is involved in an accident. If after the car is involved in an accident they insurance company does not pay the amount agreed to for the damages they have not acted

There is no general definition of good faith under English contract law; it is generally a presumption that two parties will act honestly and fairly with one another. Unlike other systems of law, such as the French Civil Code, English contract law does not recognise the obligation of ‘good faith’. Instead there is more of a negative obligation not to tell lies rather than a positive obligation to tell the truth and act in good faith. However recent cases such as Yam Seng PTE Ltd v International Trade Corporation Limited have shown that the courts attitudes towards good faith have been developing and changing. Now it may be possible to imply a term of good faith in a contract. Therefore, where traditionally there has been a negative obligation not to tell lies, English contract law may be slowly moving towards an obligation of good faith.

At the end of the scenario, BTT states that it is not interested in distributing Chou’s new strategy game, Strat. Assuming BTT and Chou have a contract, and BTT has breached the contract by not distributing the game, discuss what remedies might or might not apply.

The primary objective to contract remedies is to provide the parties with the benefit of the bargain they struck. If one party breaches the lease or sales contract, UCC provides a variety of pre-litigation and litigation remedies to the injured party.

It found that the duty to perform contractual obligations honestly and in good faith must exist because it will make the law more certain, more just and more in tune with commercial parties’ reasonable expectations of a basic level of honest conduct. Can-Am breached its duty because it acted dishonestly toward Bhasin in exercising the non-renewal clause, misled Bhasin about its proposed agency restructuring and Hrynew's role as auditor. Can-Am's dishonesty was directly and intimately connected with its performance of the agreement and its exercise of the non-renewal provision. It also ruled that the respondents were not liable for breach of contract or civil conspiracy because Hrynew did not induce Can-Am's breach of its contractual duty of honest

The company Nike operates in over 50 different companies. This makes them a very large global company. Nike makes all kinds of products including gym shoes, clothing and apparel, equipment and accessories. “In 2004, Nike products were manufactured by more than 800 suppliers, employing over 600,000 workers in 51 countries” (Locke, Kochan, Romis & Qin, 2007, p. 6). Nike came under fire because of their workers that work outside the United States. In other countries, labor laws are unlike those within the United States. Large corporations often exploit the fact that they can pay laborers significantly less outside of the United States. Companies may also provide less than favorable working conditions to its labor force outside of the United States.

The rule of thumb in contract remedies is injured party is only entitled to the economic expectation or its equivalent. It is not entitled to the actual performance of the contract. That is why, usually, drafting the provisions regarding the breach of the contract, an attorney will be most focused on the monetary damages as the standard and the most commonly used type of the remedies. Monetary damages are generally awarded as a sum of money equal to the loss in value to the injured party of the other party’s failed or deficient performance, plus any other loss caused by the breach .

The court could enforce all or part of a contract and require a remedy in equity or injunctive relief. This is when the court requires one of the parties to do something. The court could choose from cancellation that would void the contract or specific performance that would require the party that breaches the contract to perform the contracted service or produce the goods that were agreed to in the contract. This remedy is usually enforced in a case that the goods or services are unique, and no other judgement would be sufficient (FindLaw, 2016).

Breach – The driver breached his legal requirement to duty of care by failing to adhere to a red light. This breach is measured under a reasonable person standard in that any reasonable person in the same situation would have stopped at the red light rather than ignore it. A breach is simply a violation of a tort or law.

The law of contract in many legal systems requires that parties should act in good faith. English law refuses to impose such a general doctrine of good faith in the field of contract law. However, despite not recognizing the principle, English contract law is still influenced by notions of good faith. As Lord Bingham affirmed, the law has developed numerous piecemeal solutions in response to problems of unfairness. This essay will seek to examine the current and future state of good faith in English contract law.

Nike’s CEO’s and management made a decision to begin using sweatshop labor in order to save money and begin aggressive marketing. They used this aggressive marketing to have a one up on their competitors, in fact, Nike spent 280 million dollars alone on advertising in 1994 (Schwartz, 2000). Nike would give great athletes million dollar contracts to endorse and wear their clothing. For an example, Andre Agassi received 70 million dollars to endorse Nike's tennis clothing line. The choice to start aggressive marketing is the reason why Nike entered into this crisis and started making unethical decisions. Once the top management of Nike realized the profitability and popularity of hiring professional athletes to wear and endorse their clothes, regular advertising would not suffice. The company became greedy and were willing to use cheap abusive labor so that they could pay professional athletes millions of dollars (Schwartz, 2000).
