Then, I would reach out to a lawyer to review my case. Explaining to the lawyer that Mr. Marshall and I had started doing business together in Good Faith (No Contract). During this time, I supplied muscadine grapes to Mr. Marshall’s health store as a result the product was very popular with his customers. As time went on in the interest for my grapes rose. My son who was 17 at the time did the occasional deliveries for my company. He made a delivery to Mr. Marshall and during that day Mr. Marshall gave him a contract to sign. My son asked question before signing this contract, but he nor Mr. Marshall informed me of this Contract. I need to know my rights; can this contract be voidable since it was without my knowledge and my son was under the age of 18 at the time Mr. Marshall had him to sign the contract? Legal Information Let’s take this moment to review the legal side of things. According to Contract “A contract is an agreement between private parties that have created mutual obligations, which are enforceable by law.” A contract is usually governed by the state and in this case, it happens to be Mississippi. As said before, Mr. Marshall and I did not have a contract in the beginning. He created a contract, which in turned had my son to sign (said contract) telling him “just a formality”. Alabama law states “18 under emancipation and 19 is the majority age. Minor 15 or more at nearest
A contract is defined as, “a legally enforceable exchange of promises or an exchange of a promise for an act that assures that parties to the agreement that their promises will be enforceable (Kubasek 2015).” Contracts are essential for businesses to conduct business with one another. Before delving too far into the Muscadine grape case, it is also important to note that a sale is the, “passing of title to goods from buyer to seller for a price (Kubasek 2015)” and that a good is considered, “tangible personal property (Kubasek 2015).” Muscadine grapes and their by-products are the goods in question. When considering any legal case it is important to first consider the facts and the issues that are being considered.

I drafted the requirements and one particular day, I handed the supplier’s son the requirements contract and asked him to sign on behalf of the company, which he agreed to. However, the demand for the products skyrocketed nationwide after an article was written in the Huffington Post highlighting the antioxidant qualities of Muscadine; prompting the supplier to repudiate the contract by either increasing the prices of the products or referring me to other providers. At the time, the requirements contract was signed by the supplier’s son I was not aware that he a minor.
Directly after the article’s publication, Mr. Barfield informed me that his family farm could no longer supply the Muscadine grapes and other antioxidant products to my health store. As a business owner, I believe the breach of contract by Mr. Barfield and his family farm, will cause irrevocable harm to my business profits. As a learning student of faith and Christ, I am perplexed by Mr. Barfield’s integrity. In church, I have been learning that just as God keeps his words, he expects his followers to do the same. I offer you the following Bible verse as a basis for expecting Mr. Barfield to fulfill his Christian duty to his promise, “It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it. (Ecclesiastes 5:5, New International Version).

Contract Analysis Case Study Doing business with others always involves risk. Doing business with a friend can be riskier still unless both parties take care to clearly communicate expectations and establish a legal contract. Doing business with a friend who is a non-believer not only carries the aforementioned risk, it also carries the weight of one’s Christian testimony when conflict arises. Continuing Business with Marshall Several options exist regarding continuing business with Marshall.
Contract Law Case Study Both the parties in the question have come to a problematic situation
Lastly, Christians, as Marshall will learn, hold each other accountable when they’re in the wrong. The family business owners will do the right thing by stopping all business with Peterson and taking him to court. Disregarding Marshall’s bitter feelings, after losing his case, to the family, this will teach Marshall the important lesson of what it means to be a Christian. No more will he be allowed to carry somewhat shady practices with other business owners to increase his worth. The family taught him that in order to be a follower of Christ, one must leave all their sin at the door and discontinue their sinful ways.

Before unilateral contracts come into place, contract law is about a promise for a promise.

Judges seek to identify consideration and acceptance in unilateral contracts whilst managing to achieve a balance between protecting reasonable expectation of an honest man and retaining respect for the sanctity of contract.
Contracts, business, and laws are three simple little words, but when put together they have a substantial impact on our everyday lives. Below we will discuss three case studies. The first case is between Chris, Matt, and Ian vs. Donald Margolin, who was injured when he used an aftershave lotion that he bought off the internet called Funny Face. The second case is between Sam, his landlord, and a national chain store. Sam is being accused of conducting business from his apartment and going back on a verbal promise. In the last case is two lifelong friends who decided to join in a partnership and open up a sporting goods shop. Therefore, before the appropriate court can proceed with the first case, the court should take into several considerations around the rules of jurisdiction, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and whether or not corporation/or corporate offices can be held for the criminal or potential act. In the second case before the court can rule the court should determine the various elements of a valid contract, if a quasi-contract exists, a promissory estoppel, and the rights an obligation of a tenant would prevail on Sam 's claims. Finally, in the third case between Jeb and Josh, they should determine the type of business entity that will overall protect their business and personal needs.
