Promise Contract Law Meaning
[23] The appearance of the treaty, the fact that it was discussed for forty minutes or more before it was signed; Lucy`s objection to the first draft because it was written in the singular, and he wanted Mrs. Zehmer to sign it as well; the transcript to take account of this objection and the signature of Ms. Zehmer; the discussion of what should be included in the sale, the provision on the examination of the title, the completeness of the signed deed, the seizure by Lucy without the request or suggestion of one of the defendants to return it are facts that provide convincing evidence that the performance of the contract was a serious commercial transaction rather than a random transaction, A joke, as the defendants now claim. The promisor is bound to keep his promise, unless it is illegal to steal as a promise or to commit an attack and battery; when fulfillment is prevented by the act of God, as if one had agreed to teach another drawing, and one loses one`s sight so as not to be able to teach it; when the promisor prevents him from doing what he has agreed to do; if the promisor has been released from his promise by the provocateur, if the promise was made without sufficient compensation; and perhaps, in other cases, the promiser`s duties are over. PROMISE: A commitment in which the promisor enters into a contract with another to do or do something for the benefit of the latter. When a promise is reduced to the form of a written agreement under seal, it is called an alliance. To be binding on the promisor, the promise must be made in exchange for sufficient consideration – if it is made without consideration, however, it can be binding above all, it is not legally binding, as it is nudtim pactum. [21] In his testimony, Zehmer claimed that he was “as tall as a Georgia pine” and that the transaction was “just a group of two drunkards eaten away by dogs bluffing to see who could talk and say the most.” This statement contradicts his attempt to say in detail what was said and what was done. It is refuted by other evidence about the condition of both parties and by his wife`s statement that Lucy, when she left the restaurant, suggested that Zehmer should drive him home, without weight. The protocol is convincing that Zehmer was not intoxicated as he was unable to understand the nature and consequences of the instrument he played, and therefore that instrument should not be declared invalid for this reason.
17 S.J.C., Contracts, § 133 b., p. 483; Taliaferro vs. Emery, 124 Va. 674, 98 pp. 627. In fact, the defendant`s lawyer admitted at the hearing that Zehmer was not too drunk on the evidence to enter into a valid contract. [33] However, the respondents also argue that, although a contract has been entered into, equity should, in the circumstances, refuse to perform it. These circumstances have been explained in detail above. They reveal some of the potions of both sides, but not to such an extent that they could not fully understand what they were doing.
There was no fraud, no misrepresentation, no harsh practice and no interaction between unequal parties. The farm was purchased for $11,000 and taxed at $6,300. The purchase price was $50,000. Zehmer admitted it was a good price. In fact, in this case, there are none of the reasons normally advanced against a particular service. [34] Although specific enforcement is not a matter of absolute or arbitrary law, it is carried out at the fair and sound discretion of the court. Bank v. Roanoke Oil Co., loc.
cit., 169 Va. p. 116, 192 p.E. p. p. 771. But it is equally true that the discretion that may be exercised is not arbitrary or capricious, but is controlled by established doctrines and firm principles of justice; and, in general, if a contract is not reprehensible by its nature and circumstances, it goes without saying that the courts of equity order a specific performance of the contract, just as it is for a court to award damages for a breach of the contract. Bond vs.
Crawford, 193 Va. 437, 444, 69 pp.e.2d 470, 475. [27] In the area of treaties, as elsewhere in general, “we must regard a person`s outward expression as a manifestation of his intention and not of his secret and tacit intention.” The law attributes to a person an intention commensurate with the reasonable meaning of his words and deeds. Bank vs Roanoke Oil Co., 169 Va. 99, 114, 192 PP. 764, 770. [8] Therefore, the essential elements of treaties that are implicit are indeed mutual agreement and intent to promise, but agreement and promise were not made in words and are implicit from the facts. Power-Matics, Inc.c. Ligotti, 191 A.2d 483 (N.J. Super. 1963); St.
Paul Fire & M. Ins. Co. vs. Indemnity Ins. Co. by No. America, 158 A.2d 825 (N.J. 1960); St.
John`s First Lutheran Church v. Storsteen, 84 N.W.2d 725 (p.d. 1957). [2] [16] The key issue raised by this call for a quasi-contract is whether or not the applicant acted as a “volunteer” at the time he accepted the horse for food on his farm. There is a long line of authorities who have clearly formulated the general rule: “If a service is provided by one person without the request of another person, it is very unlikely that that person will be legally required to pay compensation.” 1 A Corbin, Contracts § 234. Let`s say John tells Doris that he will pay her $3,000 to take care of her children for the summer. Doris quits her less lucrative summer job in favor of John`s offer, but at the last minute, John greets an international student who will do the work for free. Doris could receive compensation from John for the loss of income she had suffered by relying on her promise. (1) No one may be contractually bound if he is not legally capable of entering into at least contractual obligations that are not countervailable. Contractual capacity may be partial and its existence in relation to a particular transaction may depend on the nature of the transaction or other circumstances. (2) A natural person who accepts a transaction has full legal capacity to perform contractual obligations, unless it is a link between the principles governing the implied contractual claim in Bailey v.
Westen, the question of the agency and the rules of restitution? In general, a promisor can take legal action on a promise made to him, but if the consideration does not come from the promisor, but from another person, the latter and not the promisor has a cause of action because he is the person for whom the contract was concluded. A promise may be made in words orally or in writing, or be derived in whole or in part from the conduct. In contracts, a promise is essential for a binding legal agreement and is given in return, which is the incentive to make a promise. A promise is illusory if the promisor does not commit to anything and therefore does not provide anything in exchange for a valid contract. Contract law generally requires a person to receive consideration for making a promise or agreement. Legal consideration is a valuable asset that is exchanged between two parties at the time of a promise or agreement. Usually, some form of consideration, either a currency exchange or a promise to refrain from any action, is required for a contract to be legally enforceable. However, in attempting to ensure justice or fairness, a court may enforce a promise without consideration, provided that the promise has been reasonably used and that recourse to the promise has resulted in a disadvantage for the promiser. But when John tells Doris that he will pay her $3,000 to care for her children for the summer, and Doris gives up her health insurance because she expects John to cover her, her hypothesis is not based on a promise from John. As a result, Doris cannot get compensation from John for his increased medical expenses. An example of debt cancellation could be applied in a case where an employer makes a verbal promise to an employee to pay him a certain amount of money, monthly or annual, for the duration of the employee`s retirement. If the employee subsequently retires as a result of the employer`s promise, the employer could be legally prevented from not keeping its promise to make the declared pension payments […].
