Brian contracted with Stacey to purchase 10,000 bushels of soybeans at market price. The soybeans were to be delivered in 90 days. Two days after the soybean contract was made, Brian and Stacey entered into another contract under which Brian agreed to purchase 10,000 bushels of wheat from Stacey at market price. Before the time for delivery of the soybeans, Stacey notified Brian that she would not deliver the wheat because her wheat supplier had refused to extend additional credit to her and therefore she had no wheat available for Brian. Which of the following statements best describes the effect of Stacey’s repudiation of the wheat contract on Brian’s rights under the soybean contract?

Chris consulted Linda Lawyer about handling the sale of his building. Linda Lawyer explained that she billed $200 per hour, and estimated that the legal work would cost about $10,000. Chris said, “Okay, let’s proceed,” and Linda Lawyer timely and successfully completed the work. Because of unexpected title problems, Linda Lawyer reasonably spent 75 hours on the matter, and shortly thereafter mailed Chris a bill for $15,000, with a letter itemizing the work performed and time spent. Chris responded by letter, expressing his good-faith belief that Linda Lawyer had agreed to a total fee of no more than $10,000. Chris enclosed a check in the amount of $10,000, payable to Linda Lawyer and conspicuously marked, “Payment in full for legal service in connection with the sale of my building.” Despite reading the “payment in full” language, Linda Lawyer, without any notation of protest or reservation of rights, endorsed and deposited the check in her bank account. The check was duly paid by Chris’s bank. A few days later, Linda Lawyer unsuccessfully demanded payment from Chris of the $5,000 difference between the amount of her bill and the check, and now sues Chris for that difference. What, if anything, can Linda Lawyer recover from Chris?

Lululemon rented a commercial building from The OC Company and operated their business in it. The building’s large front window was smashed by vandals six months before the expiration of the lease. Lululemon, who was obligated to pay for repairs in such cases, promptly contracted with First Glass to replace the window for $2,000, due 30 days after satisfactory completion of the work. The OC Company was unaware of the contract between Lululemon and First Glass. First Glass knew that the building was under lease, but he dealt entirely with Lululemon. Sixty days after First Glass’s satisfactory completion of the window replacement, and prior to expiration of Lululemon’s lease, Lululemon, then insolvent, ceased doing business and vacated the building. In so doing, Lululemon forfeited its right to the return of a $2,000 security deposit with The OC Company. The deposit had been required for the express purpose of covering any damage to the leased property. The only such damage that occurred during Lululemon’s occupancy was the smashed window. Upon vacating the building, Lululemon mailed a $1,000 check to First Glass, bearing on its face the following conspicuous notation: “This check is in full and final satisfaction of your $2,000 window replacement bill.” Without noticing this notation, First Glass cashed the check and sued Lululemon for the $1,000 difference. If Lululemon’s only defense is accord and satisfaction, is Lululemon likely to prevail?

Decon (“D”) is poor and lives in the inner city. After losing his job at a restaurant when it went out of business, D decides he should get an inexpensive computer to help his job search by using online resources. D does not own a car. So, D walks about a mile to the nearest computer store Perkins Computers (“P”). D explains his need to use the computer to search for jobs and fill out online applications. D also states the computer would help him become better educated through watching educational videos. D would like to go back to school through the internet and complete high school. D also indicates a desire to use the computer to fill the empty hours with entertainment. It is evident to Payson, the P salesperson, that D does not know anything about computers. D has often come down to P to look at the computers but has never purchased one. Payson has told D that Payson is an expert on computers and wants to be a friend and help D get a computer. P shows D a small laptop computer, the MX12 by Bitco Inc. One of the MX12s is on a counter and is showing videos on YouTube. D is shown a written installment contract to buy the computer. The contract is 10 double-sided pages long and is in 10-point type. Deep in the text is an unlabeled sentence in regular size print saying “This sale is as is. There are no warranties.” D reads part of the first page of the contract and realizes that it is in such dense legal terminology that it cannot be understood by him. D asks if the sale could be put off for a few days so he can talk to someone about the terms of the contract. Payson explains that this would be inadvisable as the MX12 is on sale right now, but the price is about to go up 35% due to civil unrest in Mongolia. D goes ahead and signs. The first installment is $50. D is to pay $50 per week for two years. If a payment is more than two weeks late, the computer can be repossessed. When D gets home, he tries to use the computer to get on the internet but cannot figure out how to do so. D asks a teenager, Tony, living in the apartment next door, for help. After spending some time with the computer and explaining to D about wireless internet providers, Tony tries to log in to his own family’s wireless, offering to let D use it, only to discover that the computer has no ability to connect to the internet via wireless. D looks for a port that could be used to connect to an internet modem or network, but the computer has no ports. Tony suggests that the only thing it does is allow him to take and save notes and play a few pre-installed games. Tony asks what D paid. Tony says he thinks the computer is only worth about $75. D is discouraged and makes no more payments. P repossesses the computer and files suit seeking a judgment for the balance due under the contract. Assume the contract is valid and enforceable if there are no defenses. What defenses or other legal arguments can be made on behalf of D?
