Foodmart, Inc. is a retail grocery store chain based in Any State,<br />

U.S.A. Foodmart has stores throughout the United States. Brian<br />

McDonald works as the produce manager for the store in My<br />

Town, U.S.A. Jeremy Atwater, 17 years old, is spending his<br />

summer vacation working for Brian in the produce department.<br />

Write a 1,050- to 1,750-word paper with detailed answers to the<br />

following scenarios:<br />

o Foodmart contracted with Masterpiece Construction to<br />

renovate the store on Main Street in My Town. Masterpiece,<br />

unable to complete the renovation within the 6-month time


limit due to an increase in new contracts, subcontracted the<br />

job to Build Them to Fall Construction. Foodmart was<br />

unaware of the subcontract. When Foodmart realized, due to<br />

the poor quality of work, that Build was handling the<br />

renovation, Foodmart petitioned the court for an injunction<br />

and sued Masterpiece for breach of contract and specific<br />

performance. Masterpiece argued that it had a right to<br />

delegate the duties of the contract, or to discharge the<br />

contract due to commercial impracticability. Who wins?<br />

Explain your answer. Summarize the legal defenses to<br />

contract formation and enforcement.<br />

o At the end of the summer, Jeremy Atwater earned enough<br />

money to put a down payment on a car. He decides to<br />

continue working part-time during school to earn money for<br />

the car payments. Jeremy purchased a car from Smooth Sales<br />

Used Cars. Smooth did not ask Jeremy how old he was; the<br />

salesman assumed he reached the age of majority. Jeremy<br />

paid the down payment and signed a contract stating that he<br />

would make payments of $200 each month. Six months later,<br />

Jeremy lost his job and could no longer make the payments.<br />

Jeremy took the car to Smooth and said he wanted to cancel<br />

the contract, and that he wanted his money back. What are<br />

the possible outcomes? Compare and contrast potential legal<br />

and equitable remedies.<br />

o Brian McDonald spent his time away from work on his<br />

hobby, model trains. His train set was large and consisted of<br />

rare and one-of-a-kind trains. One day, while visiting with<br />

fellow train hobbyist Harry, Brian said, “When I retire in 2<br />

years from Foodmart, I’m going to sell my trains and spend<br />

the rest of my life traveling on real trains.” Brian told Harry


that he was the only person he planned to offer his trains to,<br />

because he knew Harry would take care of them. Harry said<br />

he looked forward to the day when he could buy the trains.<br />

Harry spent the next 2 years and most of his savings building<br />

a new 2,000-square foot room onto his house to make room<br />

for the trains. When Harry told Brian he was building the<br />

new room, Brian just smiled. Brian also heard that Harry<br />

borrowed money from his aunt to buy the trains. When Brian<br />

retired, he sold his trains to his neighbor, James. Harry sued<br />

Brian, claiming breach of contract, or in the alternative, for<br />

promissory estoppel. Who wins? Explain your answer with<br />

respect to both alternative claims. You may assume that there<br />

is no Statute of Frauds issue merely because any contract is<br />

not in writing.
