From the fine folks over at the Volokh Conspiracy comes this limerick summarizing a contract dispute:
An ode to Cricket Alley Corp. v. Data Terminal Systems (from a poet in my Contracts II class):
Facts:
DTS sold registers to Cricket’s
To automate bookkeeping wickets.
The shop owner said, “Dang!
These won’t talk to my Wang.
We’re stuck with hand entered sales tickets.â€Holding:
Cricket’s needs were expressed or implied.
On salesmen’s claims Cricket had relied.
Damage was foreseeable
And so we’re agreeable
Consequence relief can’t be denied.
