Contract Law, Default Rules, And The Philosophy Of Promising, Richard Craswell
Contract Law, Default Rules, And The Philosophy Of Promising, Richard Craswell
Michigan Law Review
Among the topics addressed by moral philosophy is the obligation to keep one's promises. To many philosophers, there is something strange (or, at least, something calling for explanatie1n) in the idea that moral obligations can be created simply by an individual's saying so yet this is what seems to happen when a person makes a promise. Consequently, there is by now a large body of literature attempting to identify the exact source and nature of this moral obligation.
Part I of this article presents a more detailed survey of recent philosophical writings about promises, for the benefit of legal readers …
And Then There Were None: Requirements Contracts And The Buyer Who Does Not Buy, Cheryl R. Guttenberg
And Then There Were None: Requirements Contracts And The Buyer Who Does Not Buy, Cheryl R. Guttenberg
Washington Law Review
In requirements contract cases where buyer has significantly reduced—or no—requirements, courts employ inconsistent reasoning, resulting in legal uncertainty and economically inefficient exchanges. This Comment proposes a more predictable, efficient rule that would allow buyer to reduce its requirements after giving seller a business reason for the reduction, placing the risk of reduced requirements explicitly on seller.
Software Distribution Agreements And Bankruptcy: The Licensor's Perspective, J. Dianne Brinson
Software Distribution Agreements And Bankruptcy: The Licensor's Perspective, J. Dianne Brinson
Washington Law Review
This Article addresses a special problem within the software-industry—licensee bankruptcy and the need to protect the rights of licensors in the software. Although federal law now protects the rights of a software licensee in the technology when a licensor undergoes bankruptcy, little guidance exists as to the effects of licensee bankruptcy upon the software licensor. This Article thoroughly reviews the relevant bankruptcy and copyright law as they relate to the computer software area, and then discusses why a licensor should consider avoiding the possibility of a software license being treated as an executory contract. The author concludes by offering practical …

Working It Out: A Japanese Alternative To Fighting It Out, David J. Przeracki
Working It Out: A Japanese Alternative To Fighting It Out, David J. Przeracki
Cleveland State Law Review
Since the end of World War II, Japan has soared to the summit of importance in the world economy. In recent years, the balance of trade between the United States and Japan has been tipped strongly in favor of the Japanese. Since America's hegemony in international contracting is waning, especially with the Japanese, new approaches must be considered. The purpose of this Note, therefore, is to provide the reader with an understanding of the difference between Japanese and American legal consciousness. Because the Japanese approach yields an exceptionally low rate of litigation, a secondary goal of this Note is to …

Written Agreements In The Lender-Borrower Context: The Illusion Of Certainty, Robert D. Rowe
Written Agreements In The Lender-Borrower Context: The Illusion Of Certainty, Robert D. Rowe
Vanderbilt Law Review
Recent legal battles in the lender-borrower arena have received widespread attention. The fact that these battles occur merits little surprise because borrowers often seek recourse against lenders when financial commitments go awry. Moreover, recent lender-borrower cases do not introduce any new legal theories. The outcome is the noteworthy feature of these cases. Borrowers increasingly are obtaining judgments against lenders. This Note examines recent lender-borrower cases from a contractual perspective, analyzing the application of traditional contract principles in the lender-borrower context. Part II of this Note contends that courts are trying to address three concerns in the lender-borrower context: maintenance of …

Contracts As Commodities: The Influence Of Secondary Purchasers On The Form Of Contracts, Henry T. Greely
Contracts As Commodities: The Influence Of Secondary Purchasers On The Form Of Contracts, Henry T. Greely
Vanderbilt Law Review
In 1970 Professor Arthur Leff brought a new vision to a half century of debate about standard form contracts' by pointing out that consumer contracts should be seen not primarily as "contracts," but as"things," intangible products, sold to the consumer. As "things," Leff argued, form contracts should be subject to the same kinds of warranty laws as tangible goods. The debate about form contracts in consumer transactions continues, but, as Leff predicted, the debate largely has ignored his insight concerning the nature of the pieces of paper involved.
"Bad Faith Breach": A New And Growing Concern For Financial Institutions, Susan D. Gresham
"Bad Faith Breach": A New And Growing Concern For Financial Institutions, Susan D. Gresham
Vanderbilt Law Review
A majority of courts have determined that all contracts impose on the parties to the contract an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in their actions with each other. This implied covenant prohibits a contracting party from injuring another party's right to receive the benefits of the agreement. Breach of this implied covenant usually creates a cause of action based on contract rights. Moreover, California courts maintain that breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing creates a tort action as well. The California courts initially limited these tort actions to claims against insurance companies. …
