This case saw the landlord’s payments go back up for future payments only and wasn’t refunded the differences between what the landlord wanted and what he asked for, which is why this case will follow suit. Randall Plc are unable to claim the previous funds back from Hopkirk Plc, but it could be agreed that there is no reason Hopkirk Plc shouldn’t be viable to pay the original contract amount agreed of £3000 for the future. The court could dismiss Randall’s claim to re-gain £1000 per month from Hopkirk Plc. It could be agreed that future payments will be at a rate of the original fixed price of £3,000 until the contract has been reviewed and discussed and agreed by both parties which a court could suggests is corrected before the termination date 2019. It is possible that a court would suggest a new contract should be written up and relevant clauses will need to be added in and agreed by both …show more content…
There is no mention that Hopkirk Plc had any issues now or in the past with the contract being amended in this way. It should take into account that consideration was taken on Hopkirk Plc behalf to meet the needs of Randall Plc however, as noted previously this did not affect the running of Hopkirk Plc in anyway as Hopkirk Plc was still receiving the same amount as previously stated in the original contract. There is nothing within the contract which shows Hopkirk Plc finding this to be a burden on their business and their operations. It could be argued that this would have made the businesses operation run more easily as there is less deliveries for Hopkirk Plc to handle however, it could also be argued that this would make Randall Plc business operations
Equuscorp launched proceedings in the Supreme Court of Victoria against each of the respondents. Equuscorp’s claims were for “loss and damage” for breach of the loan agreements and for money had and received. The trial judge dismissed Equuscorp’s contractual claim in all eight cases and upheld the restitution claim in two cases. The respondents appealed this decision in the Supreme Court of Victoria’s Court of Appeal. In this appeal, the majority held that the trial judge erred and that Equuscorp was not entitled to restitution. Equuscorp appealed against the decision of the Court of Appeal in relation to the three respondents. Its grounds for appeal included that the Court of Appeal erred in deciding: a) that Equuscorp was not entitled to restitution for the unenforceable loan agreements; b) that it was not unjust for the respondents to keep the amounts pursuant to the unenforceable loan agreements; and c) that restitution was not assigned as a right or remedy to recover the amounts under the unenforceable loan agreements.

Lewis is a case in which the mirror image rule is applied and gives an example of common law governing a contract. The Prides owned a house located in Nodaway County. They listed their house for sale when they moved to a farm and found a tenant to rent the house until it sold. They received an offer from Lewis to purchase the house for $55,000. The initial offer from Lewis was rejected. The Prides realtor presented them with the second contract, already signed by Lewis and his realtor. This contract that was signed by Lewis on April 9, 2003, which stated a closing date of May 15, 2003. The Prides had changed the date, by hand, to June 1, 2003, and signed the contract on April 9, 2003. The Prides and their realtor initialed the change however Lewis did not. On the day of closing, Lewis nor his realtor had appeared. When the closing did not occur, the Prides sent him a letter letting him know of his default and relisted the house with a realtor. The house sold for $40,000 in June 2004 and they were unable to find a tenant for that entire year. The Prides sued for breach of contract, seeking the damages for the difference between the $55,000 and the $40,000 it sold for. The trial court entered judgment in favor of the Prides, however, Lewis appealed. The appellate court Judge, Judge Presiding Ulrich states, "A contract does not exist without a definite offer and a ‘mirror-image' acceptance. Any acceptance that includes new or variant terms for the offer presented
In arriving at its decision the court observed that Beneficial went back on the terms of the contract it had entered into with Google. Google had previously entered into a contract with Beneficial where the two parties had reached an agreement which included protection of Google and it's customers from any infringement claims by Beneficial. Beneficial‘s actions were in breach of contract and Google was entitled to damages. The court thetrfore found Beneficial innovations in breach of contract and were required to pay minimal damages of $1 to Google. The outcome in this case will be binding on all similar cases filed in the same court. The outcome will also be binding on all courts below the District court and only be advisory in superior courts. The decision will also be binding in cases with similar facts in lower courts in other states. The outcome is also advisory to other higher courts in other states. The outcome of the court was appropriate in this case as a breach of contract neccesitates an award of damages for the injured party. Allowing a party to recover damages for breach of contract puts the injured party at a position they would have been if the breach had not occured. An award of damages also deters the other party from any further breaches of the contract. In this case awarding Google nominal damages of $1 does not put the party
Property has been transferred in the execution of the contract and recision would prejudice those rights.

Clare will only be legally bound to her promise to pay the extra £2,500 if Ben can establish that he provided fresh consideration for the promise beyond performance of an existing contractual duty. The traditional view of consideration is that something of value given by both parties to a contract that induces them to enter into the agreement to exchange mutual performances. The economic value of the consideration can be insignificant, but it cannot be in recognition of past event, nor can it be the performance of an existing contractual or public duty. Clare will view the situation as being very similar to Williams v Roffey Bros & Nicholls (Contractors) Ltd [1991] 1 QB 1. Even though, she can argue that Ben had not given sufficient consideration
It does not allow for easy discrimination between legitimate and improper modifications, and it can be circumvented if the Galtaco demanding the modification undertakes some new detriment of relatively small value in relation to the gain to be received, or if the both parties go through the ritual of terminating the original contract and executing a new one. It is more efficient to focus directly on the problem of coerced modification by evaluating it under the rules of

Many times because of ambiguous wording contract details are up for interpretation and courts need to intervene to resolve disputes. Contract disputes can sever business and personal relationships, but that does not need to be the case. Faith in God can sometimes be the mediation needed to resolve conflicts and mend relationships that otherwise would not have been strong enough to flourish.
