- Durham orally agreed to purchase certain computer hardware priced at $10,000 from Ted Stallings. The sale of the hardware also included a one-time setup service visit priced at $100. The total contract price amounted to $10,100. The computer hardware was delivered and set up, and Durham paid $10,100. Afterwards, Durham discovered that she could obtain the same goods and services from another seller for a total contract price of $9,100. She now seeks rescission of the contract, based on the fact that more than $500 in goods were involved in the sales transaction, that the contract between her and Stallings was subject to the statute of frauds as a result, and that the oral agreement between them was therefore unenforceable. Durham wants to return the computer hardware to Stallings, and receive reimbursement of $10,000 (She is willing to waive her claim to reimbursement for the $100 setup service visit.) Evaluate Durham’s legal position in this matter.

- United Road Machinery Company, a dealer in heavy road equipment (including truck scales supplied by Thurman Scale Company), received a telephone call on July 21 from James Durham, an officer of Consolidated Coal Company, seeking to acquire truck scales for his coal mining operation. United and Consolidated entered into a twenty-four-month lease-purchase arrangement. United then notified Thurman that Consolidated would take possession of the scales directly. United paid for the scales and Consolidated took possession of them, but the latter never signed or returned the contract papers forwarded to it by United. Consolidated also never made any of the rental payments ($608/month) due under the lease. On September 20, Consolidated, through its officer Durham, sold the scales to Kentucky Mobile Homes for $8,500. Kentucky’s president, Ethard Jasper, checked the county records prior to the purchase and found no lien or encumbrance on the title; likewise, he denied knowledge of the dispute…arrow_forwardForest Running Shoes, a sneaker store, orders three hundred pair of running shoes from Mercury Shoes, Inc. Mercury Shoes has all their sneakers in a warehouse which contains 20,000 pairs of sneakers. Before Mercury can separate the 300 pairs for Forest, a fire destroys all the shoes in the warehouse. Absent a contrary agreement between the parties, a. Forest has no rights in the 300 pairs of shoes because, since the parties didn't place any terms regarding this risk in their written contract, the contract is unenforceable. b. Forest has rights in the 300 pairs of shoes because identification took place at the time of the contract. c. Forest has no right in the 300 pairs of shoes because identification has not yet taken place. d. Forest has no rights in the 300 pairs of shoes because a buyer can never have rights to goods until it is delivered to them.arrow_forwardAnderson, a farmer, orally agreed to buy a used tractor from the Copeland Equipment Company for $475. Copeland delivered the tractor to Anderson, who used it for 11 days. During this period, Anderson could not borrow enough funds to cover the purchase price. Anderson therefore returned the tractor to Copeland. Both parties agreed that their sales contract was canceled when the tractor was returned. However, Copeland later claimed that under the doctrine of quasi- contract, Anderson was required to pay for the 11-day use of the tractor. Do you agree with Copeland? Explain your answer.
