Breach Is For Suckers, Tess Wilkinson-Ryan, David A. Hoffman
Breach Is For Suckers, Tess Wilkinson-Ryan, David A. Hoffman
All Faculty Scholarship
This paper presents results from three experiments offering evidence that parties see breach of contract as a form of exploitation, making disappointed promisees into “suckers.” In psychology, being a sucker turns on a three-part definition: betrayal, inequity, and intention. We used web-based questionnaires to test the effect of each of the three factors separately. Our results support the hypothesis that when breach of contract cues an exploitation schema, people become angry, offended, and inclined to retaliate even when retaliation is costly. This theory offers a useful advance insofar it explains why victims of breach demand more than similarly situated tort …
The Promissory Character Of Adequate Assurances Of Performance, Michael J. Borden
The Promissory Character Of Adequate Assurances Of Performance, Michael J. Borden
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Part I provides the reader with an account of the development of the doctrine of adequate assurances from its earliest roots in the doctrine of anticipatory repudiation. Part II explains the workings of the modern doctrine in the context of a recent case. In Part III, I argue that promises made in response to a demand for adequate assurances can be understood as a class of enforceable promises. In Parts IV and V, I attempt to work out the back-end consequences that would result from treating assurances as enforceable promises.

Giving Unconscionability More Muscle: Attorney’S Fees As A Remedy For Contractual Overreaching, Stephen E. Friedman
Giving Unconscionability More Muscle: Attorney’S Fees As A Remedy For Contractual Overreaching, Stephen E. Friedman
Stephen E Friedman
This Article seeks to broaden the conversation about unconscionability. While most of the discussion has focused on the appropriate standard for determining unconscionability, this Article focuses on the appropriate remedy to be imposed when unconscionability is found. The current remedy for unconscionability is non-enforcement or limited enforcement of unconscionable contracts or contract terms. This remedy is inadequate and seriously undermines unconscionability’s effectiveness as a tool for policing against contractual overreaching. The Article proposes that courts be given discretion to award attorney’s fees to consumers who successfully establish the unconscionability of a standard form contract. Such a remedy would enable unconscionability …
