Smart Contracts And Consumers, Tatiana Cutts
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 …

Hypothetical Efficiency Is Not Grounds For Breach, Daniel M. Isaacs
Hypothetical Efficiency Is Not Grounds For Breach, Daniel M. Isaacs
West Virginia Law Review
The law does not approve of the efficient breach of contract; it merely provides or fails to provide remedies. Although there are situations where the law implies contract terms, there is no basis for an implied covenant of efficiency. Hypothetical contracts, purporting to incorporate a release where the cost of performance to the promisor exceeds its value to the promisee, cannot be used to bind people to results, even efficient ones, to which they did not agree. Where it is inefficient to demand performance, flexibility should come from the promisee who, having received in trust the power to limit the …

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

Contracts--Parol Evidence Rule--Admissibility Of Agency Not Appearing In Written Contract, Robert R. Skinner
West Virginia Law Review
How does the parol evidence rule apply to a written contract which on its face appears to have only two parties, but in which one of the parties wants to introduce extrinsic evidence that one of the signatories is an agent for another person? Part one of this note will discuss present case law and part two will show how that law compares with modem theories of the parol evidence rule.

Contracts Between A Director And His Corporation, T. E. P.
Contracts Between A Director And His Corporation, T. E. P.
West Virginia Law Review
The law generally recognizes that a director or officer of a corporation occupies a fiduciary relationship to the corporation. This relationship has been described as analogous to that of an agent to his principal or a trustee to his beneficiary.1 Therefore it is logical that a director cannot deal with his corporation like a stranger at arm's length, but is bound by the rules of fairness and good faith which the courts have imposed on fiduciaries for the protection of those whose interests are confided to their care. The courts are greatly divided as to what rules or standards of …
