¶ … Breach of Contract Legal Scenarios
Whether Colossus committed the cause of action known as breach of contract where it declined to pay Lucy for two episodes of John's acting services?
Rule: The elements of the cause of action known as breach of contract are a.) Offer, b.) Acceptance, and c.) Consideration.
In this scenario a preexisting contract had been entered into by Colossus and John, and the specific terms of that contract obviously have ramifications on John's decision to amend the payment arrangement. Assuming that no caveats existed in the original contract which would preclude amendments of this nature, John's request to Randall -- who was acting on behalf of Colossus for the purpose of these negotiations -- constitutes a valid offer. Randall verbally agreed to John's request that two (2) payments of $200,000 each would be diverted to John's mother Lucy on December 20th, 2005,...
Consideration of the contract occurred when John performed acting services for two episodes of the show "Pals" within the 2005-2006 season, at which time his duties to Colossus were completed.
Conclusion: Unless Randall and Colossus can prove that John failed in his duty to perform for the show, Lucy's suit against the company for breach of contract is very likely to succeed. A legitimate offer was made by John, Randall accepted the offer, both verbally and through his signing of a written memorandum, and John's performance for the show constitutes Consideration of his contractual duties, meaning each of the three elements constituting breach of contract were present when the predetermined payment date passed without remuneration being received by Lucy. However, in the event that her suit is dismissed because the contract in…
Rule: The elements of the cause of action known as breach of contract are a.) Offer, b.) Acceptance, and c.) Consideration.
Application: In this scenario a preexisting contract had been entered into by Colossus and Laura, and the specific terms of that contract obviously have ramifications on Laura's decision to amend the payment arrangement. Assuming that no caveats existed in the original contract which would preclude amendments of this nature, Laura's request to Randall -- who was acting on behalf of Colossus for the purpose of these negotiations -- constitutes a valid offer. Randall verbally agreed to Laura's request that one (1) payment of $200,000 would be diverted to Laura's bank Dresdner Bank on October 15th, 2005, with a written memorandum signed by both parties providing a secondary form of acceptance. Consideration of the contract occurred when Laura performed acting services for one episode of the show "Pals" within the 2005-2006 season, at which time her duties to Colossus were completed.
Conclusion: Unless Randall and Colossus can prove that Laura failed in her duty to perform for the show, Dresdner Bank's suit against the company for breach of contract is very likely to succeed. A legitimate offer was made by Laura, Randall accepted the offer, both verbally and through his signing of a written memorandum, and Laura's performance

In "Piaf," Pam Gems provides a view into the life of the great French singer and arguably the greatest singer of her generation -- Edith Piaf. (Fildier and Primack, 1981), the slices that the playwright provides, more than adequately trace her life. Edith was born a waif on the streets of Paris (literally under a lamp-post). Abandoned by her parents -- a drunken street singer for a mother and a
The company's consistent top line revenue growth also illustrates it has been successful in transforming its supplier network into one that operates more on knowledge, less on purely price or product decisions. As a result the company is capable of competing more at the process level and less at the purely price-driven one (Reese, 2007). In terms of the company's factors for success, the greater opportunities is to move into
Operating costs and future sales may be difficult to predict because there is no history to rely on since the business is not established. The single biggest disadvantage of starting a new business is the unknown. There are many rules, regulations, statutes and taxes that the owner may not be aware of at the time the business is opened. A new business owner may have a product that is
On the other hand, we might be able to "incubate" a cable network by playing a Thursday night series of cable games, and such a network could be a long-run success that would strengthen our product as well."
