Rоbertа, а renоwned аrchitect, agreed tо design and supervise construction of a new house for Burt Buyer. Roberta’s fee was to be paid on completion of the house. The Roberta-Burt Buyer agreement was documented in writing and signed by both parties. When the design plans were about two-thirds complete, Roberta assigned to Nick, a newly licensed architect, “all of my rights and duties under my design and construction-supervision contract with Burt Buyer.” Nick promised Roberta to carry out the work to the best of his ability. Burt Buyer, on learning of the assignment, refused to allow Nick to proceed on the project and brought an action against Roberta to compel her to resume and complete performance of the contract. Is Burt Buyer entitled to such relief?
Respоnding tо the City оf Costа Mesа’s written аdvertisement for bids, Nichelin Tires was the successful bidder for the sale of tires to Costa Mesa for their city vehicles. Nichelin Tires and Costa Mesa entered into a signed, written agreement that specified, “It is agreed that Nichelin Tires will deliver all tires required by this agreement to Costa Mesa, in accordance with the attached bid form and specifications, for a one-year period beginning September 1, 2024.” Attached to the agreement was a copy of the bid form and specifications. In the written advertisement, but not in the bid form, Costa Mesa had stated, “Multiple awards may be issued, in the best interests of Costa Mesa.” No definite quantity of tires to be bought by Costa Mesa from Nichelin Tires was specified in any of these documents. In January 2025, Nichelin Tires learned that Costa Mesa was buying some of its tires from one of the Nichelin Tires’s competitors. Contending that its agreement with Costa Mesa was a requirements contract, Nichelin Tires sued Costa Mesa for damages caused by Costa Mesa’s buying some of its tires from the competitor. If Costa Mesa defends by offering proof of the advertisement, concerning the possibility of multiple awards, should the court admit the evidence?

Yulia owned two boats—“Lady Be Good” and “Lady Luck.” Yulia’s intent was to sell “Lady Luck,” while Mia intended to buy “Lady Be Good,” which Mia knew was once owned by her favorite celebrity. Mia was unaware of the existence of “Lady Luck.” The written contract for Yulia’s “Lady” boat included a sale price of $100,000. When Yulia delivered “Lady Luck” to Mia’s slip, Mia saw that it was not the boat she had intended to purchase and refused to accept delivery.If Mia sues Yulia for specific performance to compel her to deliver “Lady Be Good,” and Yulia countersues to compel Mia to accept delivery of “Lady Luck,” who should prevail?
