Greg, a consumer in Tennessee, sent a purchase order to Campbell Manufacturing, a U.S. company, for a 4000 PSI gas pressure washer valued at $1275. Greg needed a new pressure washer for his part time business of washing houses. The order did not specify how disputes between the parties would be settled. Campbell returned a definite, unconditional acceptance that contained one additional term which stated that disputes must be submitted to arbitration. Greg received the acceptance; however, he never agreed or objected to the additional term. Campbell orally contracted to sell 15 pressure washers to London Painting Company a large commercial painting company in France. Explain the status of the contract between Greg and Campbell. If a contract was formed, did the additional term in the acceptance become part of the contract? Is the contract between Campbell and London legally enforceable? (Additional research outside of the textbook may be necessary).

She emailed the seller, Effie Frost, expressing her desire to purchase the laptop. Effie ernailed Ramona back and said that she (Effie) would sell Effie's laptop to Ramona for $300. An hour later, Ramona and Effie signed the following agreement: "1, Effie Frost, agree to sell my laptop computer to Ramona Smith for Four Hundred Dollars and zero cents.

A pediatrician contracted with Oxford Health Plans to provide care for Oxford members at specified rates. The pediatrician later filed suit in state court against Oxford on behalf of himself "and a proposed class of other physicians," alleging that Oxford had not made proper payment to them.

Oxford then filed a motion in federal court attempting to vacate the arbitrator's decision on the ground that the arbitrator "exceeded his powers" under Section…

Assume an agent is given authority by the principal to sell a property. The principal only states that the agent may sell the property and the agent is given no further instructions. The agent reasonably believes that it will be necessary to perform $10,000 worth of improvements on the property in order to sell it. Therefore, the agent contracts to have these improvements made. He/she then sells the property. The principal believes that the improvements were not authorized and refuses to reimburse the agent for the expenses associated with the sale. Discuss the rights and liabilities of the principal and agent. Should the principal be forced to reimburse the agent? If the principal continues to refuse to reimburse the agent, what action may be taken by the agent? If the parties were to engage in a lawsuit, who would win? Why? If the answer depends on information not provided in the scenario, specify what further information one would need to render a firm opinion.
