Contracts (1962), Frederick M. Hart Jan 1962

Contracts (1962), Frederick M. Hart

Faculty Scholarship

§4.1. Introduction. The 1961 Annual Suroey of American Law pointed to the Uniform Commercial Code as the most significant development in the law of contracts during recent years. This statute, with its many provisions affecting the rules of offer and acceptance, consideration, unconscionable agreements and other aspects of the contractual relationship, will undoubtedly have a substantial effect upon traditional contract concepts. At the very least, there has been a shift from the Willistonian rigidity to Llewellynian flexibility in contracts involving the sale of personal property. Furthermore, with the natural tendency of some courts to reason by analogy and apply the …

Contracts (1961), Frederick M. Hart

§4.1. Introduction. It has often been argued that certainty is desirable, if indeed not necessary, in that branch of the law which adjusts rights in commercial disputes. Entrepreneurs have the responsibility of weighing business risks, but, as far as possible, they should be relieved of the danger that their commercial judgments may be frustrated by some novel legal decision. There is another attractive attribute of certainty which appeals to some students of jurisprudence - it has a tendency to decrease litigation. Where the law clearly defines rights and liabilities, the commercial community can adjust its actions accordingly and disputes may …

Credit Cards And The Virtual Acceptance, Frederick M. Hart Jan 1960

Credit Cards And The Virtual Acceptance, Frederick M. Hart

Faculty Scholarship

A recent case decided in a lower New York court indicates an interesting use of the virtual acceptance. Neither the decision nor the opinion is of great import, but the case is noteworthy because of the theory advocated by the plaintiff which shows a clever (and successful) attempt to adapt a principle developed during the last century to a modern type of credit transaction. In addition, it furnishes an opportunity to discuss a significant change made by the Uniform Commercial Code in the field of Negotiable Instruments. The action was brought by the financer of a credit club to collect …


Testimony By A Judge Or Juror, Frederick M. Hart Jan 1960

Testimony By A Judge Or Juror, Frederick M. Hart

Faculty Scholarship

Although the early history of the jurata shows it to have been chosen from among those who were familiar with the controversy and parties before the court, it has long been recognized that the better system attempts to obtain jurors and judges who have no prior knowledge of the dispute to be tried. In furtherance of this policy the voir dire exists to eliminate unwanted jurymen and similar devices have been established to provide for the disqualification of judges. In spite of these protections, the situation still occasionally arises where it is discovered after a trial has begun that the …
