Breach Of Contract Lawsuit By Hospital On Imaging Company
Question
You are the Hospital Administrator of Jefferson Hospital. Over lunch, the President of Imaging Company offers to sell Jefferson Hospital a piece of fully depreciated magnetic resonance imaging equipment for $450. You know that this is less than the fair market value of the equipment. You tell the President of Imaging Company that you will buy it, and you shake on it. The Imaging Company President later changes his mind and decides to keep the equipment. Jefferson Hospital sues Imaging Company for breach of contract.
a) Is your oral agreement an enforceable contract? Explain why or why not.
b) Assuming that the contract is enforceable, what remedies could Jefferson Hospital seek in a lawsuit?
c) Imaging Company defends on the grounds that the equipment is really worth $25,000, something the President of Imaging Company did not realize at lunch but which you, as the Hospital Administrator of Jefferson Hospital, knew, making the contract too unfair to enforce. Is this a viable defense? Why or why not? Be sure to use the analytical tools described in the lesson.
d) Assume the same facts regarding the initial meeting, but the Imaging Company owner goes back to Imaging Company and finds that the equipment has been sold to someone else. Jefferson Hospital sues Imaging Company for breach of contract. What defenses could Imaging Company raise? Would Jefferson Hospital win the lawsuit?
e) Assume the same facts but the Imaging Company President consumed four martinis at lunch. Imaging Company defends on the grounds that the Imaging Company President was intoxicated and incapable of understanding what he was doing. Is this a viable defense? Why or why not?

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
First impression leaves a very deep mark in somebody’s mind and my research proposal, written by one of the experts of HwA was the first impression which impressed my dissertation advisor in my college of Hamilton. After the research proposal I took further help in the actual research paper and got excellent grades.
William Cook Student
My dream of becoming a software engineer was made real by the programming assignment help experts of HwA. I completed by B. Tech last year from an university in Auckland and the experts knew exactly on how to proceed with all the programming solutions.
Sean Taylor Student
The accounting assignment due for my term end evaluation had to include data and examples from Wellington businesses. So when I mentioned this special requirement of mine to the customer care executives at TheReliableTutor they immediately paired me with an accounting assignment expert who is from Wellington and has himself studied from the Victoria University of Wellington. Needless to say I topped the class and the professor was very impressed by the quality of the assignment.
Sophie Eady Student
I needed help with writing my Stats Dissertation and my advisor was not available all the time due to her busy schedule. At first i was pretty apprehensive about using an online service for help with my dissertation writing. I had major doubts about the quality would not be up to dissertation level. But i was proved very wrong by the standard of online stats tutoring I received at HwA. I was paired with an online stats tutor who had a PhD in the subject and from there on the journey was as smooth as it can get.
David Strawderman Student
Writing the final year dissertation paper was a big deal for me as it is the ultimate decider for my grades. Needless to say that I was very nervous but I got immense help from HwA throughout the tenure and helped me get a solid A at the end of everything.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
