Anticipatory Repudiation | Contracts | Breach and Repudiation
Переглядів 3,7 тис.Рік тому
This lesson continues our coverage of breach of contract with a look at anticipatory repudiation. The issue of repudiation arises when, before the date of performance, a party indicates through their words or conduct that they don't intend to perform. Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 01:12 - Consider an example 04:01 - Option (1) Wait and see approach 08:48 - Option (2) Treat as anticipatory repud...
Conditions | Contracts | Breach & Repudiation
Переглядів 3,2 тис.Рік тому
This lesson considers how conditions may be used to structure contracts and order performance. We'll see that sometimes the parties themselves insert conditions into their contract, which we call express conditions. And sometimes the law inserts conditions into the parties' contract, which we call constructive or implied conditions. Chapter 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:01:40 - (1) Express Conditi...
Three Types of Breaches | Contracts | Breach and Repudiation
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
In this lesson, we take a look at breach of contract. Once we've established what the terms of the contract are and what those terms mean, we know what the duties of the parties are and can determine whether or not the parties have properly discharged those duties. We'll see that there are three three types of breaches-partial, material, and total-and how they relate to one another. Chapters 00...
Parol Evidence Rule | Contracts | Terms and Meaning
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
We have finished with defenses and excuses. However, before we move on to breach, we need to make sure we've nailed down the terms of the contract and the meaning of those terms. After all, we can't determine whether a party has breached unless we know exactly what the promised to do in the first place. This lesson covers the parol evidence rule. The rule addresses situations where the parties ...
Changed Circumstances | Contracts | Defenses & Excuses
Переглядів 1,4 тис.Рік тому
In this lesson, we move from our coverage of the defenses to formation to considering the changed circumstances defenses. There are three changed circumstances defenses. Each is based on the rationale that some event has occurred after contract formation that makes performance so problematic that the party should be excused from having to perform. Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 01:21 - Three Exc...
Mistake | Contracts | Defenses & Excuses
Переглядів 3,4 тис.Рік тому
In this lesson, we continue our march through the defenses to formation with a look at mistake. The defense of mistake applies when one or both of the parties to a contract believe something contrary to fact that goes to a basic assumption of the contract and has a material effect on the parties' agreed upon performances. Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 00:31 - Learning Objectives 02:13 - Mutual ...

This video adds another defense to our growing list of defenses to contract formation. The claim that the subject matter or terms of a contract violate the law or run afoul of established public policy can sometimes serve as a defense. We'll see that there are some clear cut cases but also doubtful ones where we need to balance the policies for and against enforcing the contract. Chapter 00:00 ...
Unconscionability | Contracts | Defenses & Excuses
Переглядів 3,7 тис.Рік тому
We add another defense to our roster of defenses to formation. This time, we cover unconscionability. The defense applies when a one-sided bargaining process leads the victim to agree to a contract with oppressive terms.

Two defenses intended to protect individuals who were induced to assent to a contract by being misled as to the actual facts surrounding the transaction.

This video continues our coverage of the defenses to contract formation with a look at duress and undue influence. Although these defenses are distinct, each having their own elements, they share a common concern about voluntariness. A legally effective acceptance should be voluntary. If someone assents to a deal because of improper threats or excessive persuasion, then their acceptance likely ...

Lack of Capacity | Contracts | Defenses and Excuses
Переглядів 1,8 тис.Рік тому
This lesson covers our second defense to formation: lack of capacity. Our first was the Statute of Frauds, which requires a claimant to have proof other than just testimony that a contract exists before the claimant gets her day in court. A defendant lacks the capacity to contract if she is (1) a minor/infant, (2) mentally incompetent, or (3) intoxicated. If so, then she has the right to disaff...
Statute of Frauds | Contracts | Defenses to Formation
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
This lesson covers the statute of frauds. Generally a contract does not have to be in writing to be legally enforceable. However, the statute of frauds requires that six categories of contracts (helpfully remembered by the acronym MYLEGS) must be in writing to be enforceable. We follow a 3-step analysis: (1) Does the contract in question fall within one of the six categories covered by the stat...
Warranties and Conversion | Negotiable Instruments
Переглядів 642Рік тому
This lesson covers warranties and conversion. Articles 3 and 4 provide a number of legal theories for liability. So far our focus has largely been on the liability of those who sign an instrument. We added wrongful dishonor to our repertoire last lesson. With warranties and conversion, we are getting an even more complete picture. They address situations where the losses at issue are rooted not...

    The best explanation of the statute of frauds and exceptions. Thank you. If I can add one very minor bit of feedback on your examples using the names Bob, Barb, Bo...confusing, sound too much alike, especially when listening to audio only in the car. How about Barb as the buyer, Sam as the seller, for example, less confusing.

    I would think the cruise example would not be a repudiation because the year long timeframe was not confirmed between them & there was still time available for them to either cancel the employment agreement or somehow return from the cruise on time for the start date. The employee was obviously going to claim an injury on the cruise ship... and return home just in time 🤣 your video was great and really informative!!!

    This is still paying by someone, where all this arguing is simply insanity and just another way cops can beat people up...revenue collectors and judges writing construction contracts for gvt agencies. While you stay in jail, for signing licenses, when not even on any military base.Nothing is to be signed from independent people, unless, on fed registry, forms are under 13132. Must be in compliance to constitutionally protected rights !!!! Who authorized all of this ? The people don't even know about this stuff out here.

    Damn dude, these videos are incredibly helpful. I'm in the middle of a Pro Se with a brother/trustee who created a fraudulent contract with me for a buyout and was tricked to sign while under the influence. However, the contract was signed 10yrs ago and did not become aware of the damage until two years ago when he finally decided to give me a copy of the contract. I wish I could afford an attorney to rip this guy apart but sadly I am on SSDI and have had to self repesent myself and learn and learn and keep learning so much that now I'm on contracts. I'm really surprised you dont have any comments? Wow! Such valuable information. I find it fascinating. Thanks.

  • @theresan8880
    @theresan8880 9 місяців тому

    I’m confused. At the 38:00 mark you’re talking about Sale of Goods and whether the writing is sufficient against the sender. Bob is the sender (of chocolates, right?). You said “if Barb was the defendant her writing confirming the transaction would be sufficient.” But she’s not the defendant, she’s the plaintiff in your example. Bob never signed. So how will Barb prevail?
