Week 4 discussion
Choose one of the options below for discussion. Be sure to
elaborate and explain.
Show Me My Money (Reisenfeld & Company v. The Network
Group Inc., p. 313)
Why does the court see this case as involving a
quasi-contract as opposed to an actual contract? What other case law does the
court rely on in finding precedent/support for compensating Reisenfeld? Does
this decision appear to follow the golden rule guideline set forth in Chapter 2
(pp. 27 and 28)? Describe another example of an implied-in-fact or
quasi-contract that you have experienced or is mentioned in the text.
Gone With the Wind (Miller v. Mills Construction Inc., p.
453)
What word did the lower court leave out of its opinion that
prompted Mills Construction to appeal? How did the appellate court respond to
Mills Construction’s argument? Who are the stakeholders in the Miller case, and
how might they be impacted by this breach? What are some differences and
examples of material and immaterial breaches you can think of involving
contracts (verbal, implied, or written) in your own life as a consumer, spouse,
employee, businessperson, or student? (Avoid the wire example that often comes
up in a Google search. The Shapiro Library is a good source for finding further
information.)
