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?
Summary

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was really stuck with the analysis of a work of William Faulkner in the final year of my course and then I approached HwA and got excellent response. Later that year, I also took their help for writing the book review of Booker’s Prize winning novel “God of Small Things†for my college.
Beth Parsons Student
I am extremely satisfied with the Visual C++ programming assignment help that I have received from HwA. The professor was very impressed with the quality of documentation and the grades speak for themselves.
Patrick Cairns Student
I used to have nightmares about my C++ and Java programming assignments. I never could ever wrap my head around the object oriented programming languages till I came across HwA. Their programming tutors by far the best in the industry and they helped me get excellent scores.
Penny Martin Student
I totally loved getting helped from a Melbourne based tutor via HwA as I believe someone from UK or the States could have understood the specifications required for my assignment. It is a marvellous website and I encourage all my fellow students from Melbourne to avail help from HwA as and when they need.
Amy Jones Student
I always found that circuit design assignments are very mind boggling and for that reason I often got low scores in the past. However, one senior of mine suggested that I take help from HwA as he got much benefit from them. I was a bit sceptical to be honest, at the beginning but eventually when I trusted them with one assignment, the feedback was brilliant. My grades spiked up and since then I take their help on a regular basis.

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
