Stephen A. Wheat v. Sparks
J.T. ex rel. Thode v. Monster Mountain.
Clark’s Sales and Service v. Smith
Browning v. Poirer
Sogeti USA v. Scariano
Killian v. Ricchetti
Clark’s Sales and Service v. Smith
Smith joined as employee in Clark's office and signed an employment agreement which included a restrictive covenant/noncompetition provision. The trial court concluded that the restrictive covenant that Clark's drafted is overly broad and unreasonable, and therefore unenforceable.
Conclusion Smith won the case
Browning v. Poirer
Oral agreement between Browning and Poirier to share in the proceeds of a winning lottery ticket they purchased fell outside the statute of frauds because no time was fixed by the parties for the performance of the agreement.
Sogeti USA v. Scariano
Martinez signed an employment agreement that contained a noncompetition provision for the company he worked for, Arizona law is less concerned with the personal relationship between an employee and his employer and focuses on protecting employees from overreaching arrangements
Killian v. Ricchetti
The e-mails exchanged between Killian and Ricchetti do not form a contract because material terms changed between offer and counteroffer. Killian and Ricchetti negotiated back-in-forth in these e-mails but they never reach agreement on a single set of material terms. The e-mails exchanged between Killian and Ricchetti on February 19th and February 20th do form a contract but it could not be breached, as a matter of law, because the required condition never occurred
J.T. ex rel. Thode v. Monster Mountain
A. The minor did not sign the pre-injury waiver.
B. The pre-injury waiver that was signed by the minor's coach cannot bind the minor because the waiver was in favor of a for-profit entity.
C. The pre-injury waiver was invalid because the minor's coach instead of his parent or legal guardian signed it.
D. The pre-injury waiver did not contemplate the circumstances of the minor's injuries.
Summary: J.T. sued Monster Mountain alleging negligence, premises liability, and wantonness for its failure to remove the tractor from the track. Monster Mountain moved for summary judgment on the basis that the Release barred J.T.'s claim
