The Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Washington is a fraternal association incorporated in the state of Washington. The Grand Lodge Constitution provides that the Grand Master “shall decide all questions of . . . Masonic law.” Grand Master Gregory Wraggs suspended the membership of Lonnie Traylor for “un-Masonic conduct.” Traylor asked Wraggs to revoke the suspension and prepared a “Memo of Understanding.” Wraggs agreed to talk but declined to revoke the suspension and did not sign the memo. Traylor filed a suit in a Washington state court against the Grand Lodge and Wraggs, alleging that the Grand Master’s failure to revoke Traylor’s suspension was a breach of contract. [ Traylor v. Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, 197 Wash.App. 1026 (Div. 2 2017)] (See Elements of Agreement.) 

(a) Did Wraggs act ethically when he agreed to talk to Traylor but declined to revoke his suspension? Use the IDDR approach to decide. 

(b) On what basis would the court likely hold that there was no contract between Wraggs and Traylor? Is it unethical of Traylor to assert otherwise? Discuss, using the IDDR approach.
