Contract Law Vs. Kent Case

The defendants wanted to apply reasonable principles in search of specific performance of the contract. The disposition of the immediate motion for partial summary judgment and objection was controlled. “The court found that although the doctrine of mutuality of remedies may be alive and well in Virginia in actions at law for damages, that was not the case where, regardless of a lack of support of remedy at the time the contract was created, complete performance may, if revealed, afford a party specific performance of the contract for the sale of land.”

This is one of the most frequently cited authorities on the effect of the Judicature Acts so far as the fusion of law and equity is concerned.

Contracts are an integral part of our everyday life and play as important role in our personal and business lives. In order to deal effectively with promises provided in the business world, a legal framework is needed. Basically, a contract is a promise or set of promises, for which the law provides a remedy if a party breaches or failing to perform. In order to form a contract, four basic elements are needed: an agreement, bargained-for consideration, legal capacity to enter into the contract and a legal purpose consistent with law and public policy.

This means that as the parties negotiate a contract, they need to consider how a judge might ultimately interpret it. For a contract to be enforceable, it must involve:

For the reasons articulated in Parts IV(A), supra, this Court should dismiss or stay this matter because Defendants are entitled to arbitration. Assuming, arguendo, that this Court is the proper forum to resolve this dispute—it is not—Defendants are nevertheless entitled to a partial dismissal of Plaintiffs’ breach of contract claim. Indeed, the only claim for which the allegations in the complaint—as supplemented by the actual document referenced therein—could possibly sustain is a claim that Billion breached its obligations owed to XALT, MI under the supply agreement.

Few areas of law have a bigger impact on business than contract law. When people conduct commerce of any kind they generally want to have legal protection to ensure that the other party will deliver, that’s where contracts come in. First we will discuss the elements of a contract, and why contracts are important in business. Then, court cases will be examined to display the importance of the elements of a contract. Finally we will discuss why the layman has a general fear of contracts, and some remedies they can use to protect themselves. Overall, a properly formed contract can protect anyone from a bad deal.

'The data for decision, on the one hand, the terms and conditions of the contract, read in the light of the then circumstances and, on the other hand, the events which have occurred.' In the nature of thing there is often no need for any elaborate enquiry. The Court must act upon a general impression of what its rule requires.

But even so, it is not hardship or inconvenience or material loss itself which calls the principle of frustration into play."(18)
