Application Of The Uniform Commercial Code To Option Contracts For The Sale Of Goods, And Implying Promises To Find Sufficient Consideration: Why And How The North Carolina Supreme Court Got It Wrong In Fordham V. Eason, James T. Newman Jr. Oct 2000

Application Of The Uniform Commercial Code To Option Contracts For The Sale Of Goods, And Implying Promises To Find Sufficient Consideration: Why And How The North Carolina Supreme Court Got It Wrong In Fordham V. Eason, James T. Newman Jr.

Campbell Law Review

The North Carolina Supreme Court rarely ventures into cases involving contract disputes. However, in Fordham v. Eason, the court granted discretionary review to decide which of two logging companies had title to certain timber that each company had separately bargained for. In its analysis, the court's discussion of consideration was incomplete. Further, the court erred by refusing to apply the Uniform Commercial Code to an option contract for the sale of timber. This article explores the mistakes in the Fordham opinion and examines why the court will probably have to reevaluate its decision at some point in the future.

The Pursuit Of Proceeds By Plans, Participants And Plaintiffs' Lawyers: Dissonant Solutions To An Alliterative Problem, John R. Cella Jr.

Campbell Law Review

With emphasis on developments in the Fourth Circuit, this Article first describes the pursuit's origination in plan language and ERISA's statutory provisions; it then explores ERISA preemption and cases in which injured participants invoke state statutory and common law to contradict plan terms. A review of the attorney's role follows, including an inquiry into issues concerning attorney fees. With consideration of policies behind ERISA, the Article concludes that adherence to well-drafted plan terms legitimizes the parties' bargain, avoids development of disparate federal common law, and facilitates the allocation of proceeds.
