    Just three days before the expiration of the 90-day period, the parties reached an oral distribution agreement at a meeting. Chou offered to draft the contract that would memorialize their agreement. Before Chou drafted the agreement, a BTT manager sent Chou an e-mail with the subject line “Strat Deal” that repeated the key terms of the distribution agreement including price, time frames, and obligations of both parties. Although the e-mail never used the word contract, it stated that all of the terms had been agreed upon.…

    Three days prior to the end of the 90 day the participants reached an oral distribution agreement at a meeting and soon thereafter, an email was transmitted to Chou from a BTT representative with the specifics of the agreement. The email stated, “That all of the terms had been agreed upon.” Chou sends a draft distribution contract spelling out the specifics of the agreement as per the receiving email from the BBT. The fact that may be against Chou is that the contract never had an actual signature on it because was a draft. Lastly, the contract of Strat would have surpassed the 500.00 limit (Amended UCC § 2-201(1)) of the Statute of…

    The facts that weight in favor of Chou are the verbal agreement was accepted by both parties. Also it was agreed that the distribution contract would not exist unless it was in writing. A fact that can favor against Chou is that he was paid for a promise or performance. Another fact that weighs against Chou was that he did not reject the agreement that was e-mailed to him, therefore any and all terms in that contract were binding whether or not he agreed to them after the fact.…

    Dorris Reed, the plaintiff, purchased a home from Robert King. Robert King and his real estate agent did not tell Dorris Reed that a woman and her four children were murdered 10 years ago, because the murder would affect the value of the home. Dorris Reed, however, did find out about the murder from a neighbor and sued Robert King and his real estate agent for rescission and damages. Dorris Reed paid $76,000 for the home but the value of the house, once the murder was taken into consideration, was only worth $65,000. Due to Dorris Reed failing to state a cause of action, the trial court sided with Robert King and his real estate agent. Dorris Reed appealed. Fraud is being looked at in the case of Reed vs. King. There are five elements to proving fraud, 1) material misrepresentation, 2) facts/knowledge, 3) intent, 4) reliance, and 5) damage (quoted from text book). Robert King and his real estate agent hid the first and second element of fraud. They knew about the murders and did not present Dorris Reed with this information, which would have affected Dorris Reed decision to buy the house. However, when dealing with the selling of real property, the question of materially is the main issue. Materiality is based on three conditions, 1) the gravity of the harm inflicted by nondisclosure, 2) the fairness of imposing a duty of discovery on the buyer as an alternative to compelling disclosure, and 3) the impact on the stability of contracts if rescission is permitted (citation from text book). Even though murder is horrible and it would affect a person’s judgment on buying that particulate house, there is no evidence to support Dorris Reed claim that the murder would in fact affect the market value of the house. The judgment was later reversed because Dorris Reed was able to present enough evidence to show that history can affect the value of property.…

    By studying the situation, I don't believe the 2 sides concerned ever had a deal. In the situation, the sides reached a deal just 3 days ahead of the conclusion of a 90-day time frame set in the initial negotiation deal. In the initial negotiation deal, it says that there would be no distribution agreement until it was on paper. As soon as the BTT manager posted the e-mail to Chou, he described the conditions of a distribution contract; however it doesn't make the email an agreement as neither side inked it. Just a verbal deal was reached. With no legally binding draft and the signature of both sides present, no agreement existed.…

    BTT and Chou must exhibit mutual assent to determine when a contract was reached. The contract is determined to be valid if shown that an offer was made (by BTT), and there was acceptance by Chou. Initially, BTT and Chou entered a 90-day agreement for exclusive negotiation rights to Strat in exchange for $25,000. Once payment is accepted, Chou’s right to solicit distribution from an outside party is restricted. This shows mutual assent as the promisee, Chou, gave up a legal right and the promisor, BTT, made its promised based on a mutual exchange.…
