Pixie аnd Dаisy bоth live in nоrthern Cаlifоrnia and have had a business relationship with each other for many years. Daisy owns several farms and sells various produce to buyers in the area. Pixie is a teacher but, in the summer, she buys produce from Daisy and then sells the produce to individuals at a local farmer’s market. Lately, Pixie had to take on a second job as a part-time waitress over the summer because her funds were running low as she was also trying to help pay her son’s student loan. Over the years, Daisy had expanded her customer base and was choosing to cut out some of the smaller buyers due to increased profitability to sell to buyers who then sold the produce in large quantities to grocery stores. When Pixie received the letter of apology from Daisy that she no longer believed they would be able to continue with their business relationship, she called her to warn her that she would immediately contact the local newspaper and let them know that the first year Daisy started out with her farms, she failed to pay taxes and faced a huge IRS fine that took her several years to pay off. After the phone call, Pixie sent Daisy an email warning her of the same consequence if she chose to stop doing business with her. Consequently, Daisy reluctantly agreed to sign another year’s agreement with Pixie because she was afraid of what this negative publicity would do to her business when she was just starting to break into the large volume of buyers who sold her produce to grocery stores. Within two weeks after she signed the agreement, Daisy emailed Pixie with a request for a copy of her last three months’ bank statement because she had not made a payment before Daisy made her standard delivery of the lettuce to her. Pixie was insulted and in an outburst of anger, she emailed a reply to Daisy and told her that she was going to immediately stop doing business with her. The next day she realized she had reacted hastily and reminded herself that she needed the money to help her son right now with his college loan, so she emailed an apology to Daisy and said she would continue with their arrangement after all. However, she never provided Daisy with the requested three months of bank statements. Two weeks later, a lady pointed out at the farmer’s market that Pixie’s iceberg lettuce had bruises on it. Pixie quickly examined the rest of the lettuce and discovered that about ½ of it was discolored. She left the farmer’s market early that day and left a voicemail message to Daisy and emailed her as well notifying her that it was not acceptable that ½ of the delivery of the iceberg lettuce had contained the bruised and discolored lettuce and that she would wait a week to have her supply her with iceberg lettuce without any bruising or discoloration. A week went by and Pixie did not receive any new deliveries of iceberg lettuce from Daisy. In the meantime, a news release informed the residents that the FDA and CDC were investigating a multistate outbreak of Cyclospora infections linked to some of the lettuce produced from Daisy’s farms. What are the arguments and/or legal theories that Pixie can claim against Daisy? What are the defenses that Daisy can raise against enforcement of any contract?
