Unfair And Deceptive Legislation: The Case For Finding North Carolina General Statutes Section 75-1.1 Unconstitutionally Vague As Applied To An Alleged Breach Of A Commercial Contract, Thomas A. Farr Jan 1986

Unfair And Deceptive Legislation: The Case For Finding North Carolina General Statutes Section 75-1.1 Unconstitutionally Vague As Applied To An Alleged Breach Of A Commercial Contract, Thomas A. Farr

Campbell Law Review

The North Carolina General Assembly enacted the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act in 1969. The original purpose of the act was to protect consumers from predatory business practices. Nonetheless, the North Carolina Supreme Court has sanctioned an expanded application of the act to cases involving sophisticated commercial parties. This article will attempt to demonstrate that it is poor public policy to apply section 75-1.1 to cases based upon an alleged breach of a commercial contract and that in at least those instances section 75-1.1 is unconstitutionally vague.

Notes On The Reliance Interest, Robert Birmingham Apr 1985

Notes On The Reliance Interest, Robert Birmingham

Washington Law Review

The topic is Contract Damages. The interests are defined by how we protect them. Imagine a breaching promisor. We protect the reliance interest of the promisee by requiring the promisor to put her in a position as good as she would have been in had the parties not contracted. The other interests are the restitution interest, which we protect by requiring the promisor to give back what the promisee has given him; and the expectation interest, which we protect by requiring the promisor to put the promisee in a position as good as she would have been in had he …


Contract Compensation In Nonmarket Transactions, Joseph P. Tomain Jan 1985

Contract Compensation In Nonmarket Transactions, Joseph P. Tomain

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

Professor Tomain assails the myths holding that contract law is either complete and unitary or hopelessly indeterminate. He contends that a distinction must be made between market situations, which require a more formal analysis, and nonmarket transactions to which a more particularized analysis should be applied. Making the market/nonmarket distinction permits flexibility of methodology and considerations of economics, politics, and morals as appropriate, without forcing the conclusion that contracts analysis is totally without structure. Professor Tomain advocates application of reflective doctrinal analysis which tests the sufficiency of a rule of law and reforms the rule if it is not supported …

Corporations And Corporate Agents: Liability On Commercial Paper Contracts And Attainment Of Holder Status, Harold R. Weinberg Nov 1984

Corporations And Corporate Agents: Liability On Commercial Paper Contracts And Attainment Of Holder Status, Harold R. Weinberg

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

This article focuses on two classes of commercial paper issues. Section I considers the Uniform Commercial Code rules relevant to determining whether a corporation or its agents are bound by contracts made upon a negotiable instrument. Application of these rules continues to be an important and recurrent source of legal disputes. Section II considers the rights of corporations or their agents to obtain holder status prerequisite to enforcing commercial paper contracts. Problems relating to the attainment of this status can result from corporate engagement in joint-enterprise with artificial or natural persons and from the linkage of corporations through common ownership …

The Evolution Of Law: The Roman System Of Contracts, Alan Watson Apr 1984

The Evolution Of Law: The Roman System Of Contracts, Alan Watson

Scholarly Works

I have two aims in producing this paper. First, I wish to contribute to the general understanding of how and why law develops and explain the evolution of some very familiar legal institutions. Second, I wish to add to our knowledge of the history of Roman law, by producing a radically different view of the development of contracts, that is, I believe, both consistent with surviving textual data and plausible with regard to human behavior.


Bleeding Hearts And Peeling Floors: Compensation For Economic Loss At The House Of Lords, David S. Cohen Jan 1984

Bleeding Hearts And Peeling Floors: Compensation For Economic Loss At The House Of Lords, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The decision of the House of Lords in Junior Books Ltd. v. Veitchi Ltd. represents an unwarranted development in the law of tort and contract, unless its rationale and limitations are fully appreciated. This reform in such an important area is premature "in the absence of hard data on the probable impact of such an extension of liability.” Much of the published commentary on recovery of economic loss in tort, and on this decision in particular, has been written from the ex post perspective of accident compensation doctrine and theory. Most writers have been concerned with the development of positive …


Contracts (1983 Annual Survey Of Michigan Law), Janete Findlater, Paula L. Ettelbrick Jan 1984

Contracts (1983 Annual Survey Of Michigan Law), Janete Findlater, Paula L. Ettelbrick

Law Faculty Research Publications

During the Survey period, the Michigan Supreme Court decided cases involving mutual mistake, the enforceability of a contractual limitation period, and termination of a licensing agreement. The court of appeals considered implied in fact contract theories, interpretation, the parol evidence rule, and claims for exemplary and mental distress damages for breach of contract. In addition, the court of appeals revisited rejection and acceptance under the Uniform Commercial Code, and decided several cases involving medical malpractice arbitration agreements.
