Smart Contracts And Consumers, Tatiana Cutts Sep 2019

Smart Contracts And Consumers, Tatiana Cutts

West Virginia Law Review

“Smart contracts” are a way of using computers to make contracts unbreakable. Contracting parties do not need to trust one another to perform or rely upon intermediaries to enforce performance. Performance is guaranteed. This is supposed to be a victory for the ordinary person—a clever socio-economic application of cryptography that strips power from companies and governments and gives it to consumers. But it turns out that less trust does not mean more freedom, or better bargains. The law of contract supports valuable relationships both by enforcing duties and by allowing parties to escape the consequences of ill-formed contracts and oppressive …

Contracts--Developing Concepts Of Unconscionability, Kevin D. Dolan Sep 1977

Contracts--Developing Concepts Of Unconscionability, Kevin D. Dolan

West Virginia Law Review

Section 2-302 of the Uniform Commercial Code is a widely discussed and controversial statement of the law of unconscionability. It was a part of the original UCC as adopted by Pennsylvania in 1953, but some states elected to omit that section when they accepted the UCC. There are three fundamental reasons for their not adopting the section. The first objection is that the section goes against the security of the transaction by allowing the courts to remake parts of the contract. The second stems from the fact that the section limits the parties' freedom to contract because it is often …


Products Liability--Assumption Of Liability In Sale Of Assets, James Ronald Snyder Sep 1976

Products Liability--Assumption Of Liability In Sale Of Assets, James Ronald Snyder

West Virginia Law Review

One of the usual factors to be considered in the acquisition of one corporation by another is whether the transferee is to assume the transferor's liabilities. Often the intent of the parties can be effectuated by choosing one form of acquisition over another. For example, if the parties intend that the transferee assume all of the liabilities of the transferor, the transaction could be structured as a merger because, by operation of law, the transferee assumes all of the transferor's liabilities in a merger. On the other hand, if the parties decide that the transferee will assume none of the …
