Express and Implied Contracts ANS✔✔ - Express: either orally or in writing

Sources of Contract Law ANS✔✔ common law and uniform commercial code
UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) ANS✔✔ - GOODS: tangible, movable,
personal property
- DOES NOT APPLY TO:
sale of services, intangible property, (stocks, intellectual property), real
estate
- More likely to look at what ppl do in marketplace do to determine what is
reasonable as opposed to looking at what hypothetical person would do
- Defines unconscionable contracts
- Gives courts lots of liberty on dealing with them
- Distinguishes between merchants and non merchants. Holds merchant to
a higher standard
- EASIER TO HAVE A CONTRACT WITH UCC THAN COMMON LAW
Mixed Sale Situation ANS✔✔ whether goods or services predominate in the
contract
- Most states do the predominant factor test (majority view): Under the
predominant purpose test, the court looks at the contract as a whole and
determines whether the predominant purpose of the transaction is to sell
the goods or to provide the service
- Gravamen test focuses mostly on part of the contract at issue (minority
view): the court looks at the basis of the complaint rather than the overall

nature of the transaction. If the plaintiff is complaining about the goods
component, Article 2 applies. If the plaintiff is complaining about the service
component, Article 2 is inapplicable. Used in contract law to distinguish
between goods and services or hybrid (both) transactions. Under this test,
each component is isolated and individually determined whether it's a good
or service.
Pass v. Shelby Aviation ANS✔✔ - Airplane crash case where the estate of a
couple that died sued the place where the airplane gets services
- Main problem: UCC or common law. Is it a service or goods?
- State has chosen through precedent the predominant factor test
- ¾ factors pointed toward it being a service (they put bolts on the plain but
it was mainly a service)
- Since it's a service it's common law
- Predominates test factors: Language of the contract (K) = "repair",
"inspection; Nature of business = maintenance service of aircraft; Reason
for the contract = inspection
- Summary of above: a reasonable person would consider this a service
- Under the gravamen test, it might have fallen under UCC bc of the bolts
Non-Contract Duties ANS✔✔ quasi-contract and promissory estoppel
QUASI-CONTRACT ANS✔✔ - Implied in law (not implied in fact)
- Unjust enrichment: A gives a benefit to B and it would be unfair for B not
to pay A

company (Hurdis) had sewer blockage due to the city
