Contract Law Clarifications
Summary
In New Jersey, an international contract variation can prevent substantial performance if it significantly alters original terms. Oral contracts for land sales are generally unenforceable due to the Statute of Frauds, but exceptions exist for partial performance. Contracts requiring personal satisfaction must be met with honesty and good faith. To claim fraud damages, proving injury is necessary. An accord is an executory contract, and contracts performable within a year need not be written. Incidental damages arise from breach-related expenses. Contracts under undue influence are voidable. Complete performance means all contract conditions are met. Parol Evidence Rule limits altering written contracts with prior negotiations. Unilateral mistakes dont always grant relief. Consequential damages for undelivered goods are possible if foreseeable. Oral contracts admitted in pleadings can be enforceable. Rescission restores parties to pre-contract status. Specific performance is common for land sale breaches. Auction bids are binding despite misunderstandings. Long-term leases must be written. Contracts discharge upon full performance or mutual agreement. Sale of goods contracts follow UCC rules.Full Conversation
