Questions

Emersоn hired Pаlmer tо pаint his hоuse. The contrаct specified, “Palmer to paint my house, using Gladden paint, color Rose Mallo, to match the color of my roses outside.” When Palmer went to her paint supply store, the store was out of Gladden Rose Mallo paint. Instead, Palmer purchased Bear Rose Sherbet paint, and proceeded to paint Emerson’s house with it. Bear paint is considered of equal quality and cost as Gladden paint. Also, the Rose Sherbet was the closest match in color to the Rose Mallo. However, when Emerson returned, he noticed that the exterior paint did not match his exterior roses exactly. When he found out Palmer had substituted paints, Emerson refused to pay her. Because of its chemical formulation, application of the Gladden paint at this point will be extremely expensive [it would require stripping all of the Bear paint first]. Palmer sues Emerson. Who should win? Referring to specific examples studied in class to support your position is required.
