Precision Concepts Corp v. General Employment &Triad Personnel Services
-The facts: General employment contacted precision regarding a job opening and sent a potential employee, Tavery Tan, for an interview. Precision hired her but refused to pay GE for procuring the employee. Precision filed a complaint that there was no contract and the court rendered judgment to GE on a counterclaim. Precision appealed.
-The Issue: were all the elements of a contract present to make the contract enforceable?
-The decision: affirmed in favor or GE
-The Reasoning: the face that the appellant did not like the fee indicated does not preclude the finding of a binding contract. Appellant intended to negotiate, but never did so. Appellant hired Ms. Tan with the knowledge of the fee and did so without negotiation. A unilateral contract was formed and Precision became obligated to pay 1/3 of Ms. Tan’s first year salary.

The lease stated that Hartland made no warranties and the lessee should look to the vendor for any needed repairs. Lease payments were due regardless of condition of the machine. After problems arose the lessee stopped paying, Hartland sued but the trial judge concluded it was a contract of adhesion and ruled against Hartland, who appealed.
-The Issue: was this an adhesion contract?

    The offer of the Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. was submitted to Nebraska Beef in the form of a letter. When Nebraska Beef engaged in accepting a line of credit from Wells Fargo they entered into a written credit agreement that outlined the terms of the line of credit and the over-advance which contained additional and progressive fees for each additional over-advance loan (the amount over the initial credit limit). With each of the three over-advance lines of credit or advances of money that Nebraska Beef took out with Wells Fargo, a formal written amendment to the original credit agreement was provided. Thus even though there were no new agreed upon terms, it is a sufficiently definite agreement in that Nebraska Beef evidenced their acknowledgement of additional fees through these three previous advances and further they acknowledge receipt of information stating these additional fees.…

    Transamerica V. Lynes

    Harold Brown, president of Transameria, saw defendants’ advertisement for “production injection packers” in a trade journal. Packers are frequently employed for temporary use. Defendants’ advertisement, however, stated its packer was suitable for permanent use. Brown telephoned Lynes and spoke with a sales representative. Lynes sent Brown additional advertising and descriptive literature also stating the packer was suitable for permanent use. Brown telephoned Baker’s district manager, Jack Spencer, and said he was interested in purchasing the packer for permanent use. The details of the conversation are controverted. Brown testified that Spencer “assured” him the packers would work as advertised. Spencer testified he replied, “I think they would be applicable.” The plaintiff purchased ten packers in six shipments from defendants during the period at issue. Defendants delivered invoices with at least five of the shipments. Brown signed at least one of the invoices; two invoices were signed by employees of the plaintiff other than Brown. Each invoice contained language on its reverse side disclaiming any express or implied warranties other than products were free from defects in materials and workmanship. Each invoice purported to limit the purchaser’s remedy to replacement of or credit for defective equipment or parts. Plaintiff brought to action to recover damages resulting from defendant’s break of an express warranty. Defendants asserted that plaintiff’s claims are barred by the statute of limitations and that Brown…
