Chapter 17 Case Problem #4
Under an oral contract, Scapa North America Inc. agreed to supply Eastern Adhesives Inc. with its requirements of a tape product for resale to a third party. Scapa also agreed not to supply the third party with that tape or a similar product directly. The contract was for more than $500. Scapa later began selling directly to the third party. Eastern sued for breach of contract and alleged that letters it had exchanged with Scapa satisfied the Statute of Frauds. Eastern argued that a letter it had sent Scapa that referred to an "account protection agreement" established the context for Scapa's signed, written responses. Scapa's letters did not refer to an account protection agreement. Because the letters failed to object to such an agreement, Eastern alleged that Scapa's letters admitted the agreement. Was there an enforceable contract?
