Hallmark Cards, Inc. v. Murley

When a former Hallmark employee breaches a term in her severance contract, how much can Hallmark recover as damages?

iStockPhoto.com/RiverNorthPhotography

BACKGROUND AND FACTS Janet Murley was the vice president of marketing at Hallmark Cards, Inc., until Hallmark eliminated her position as part of a corporate restructuring. As a vice president, Murley had access to Hallmark’s confidential information, including its business plans, market research, and financial statements. In 2002, Murley and the company entered into a separation agreement. Murley agreed not to work in the greeting card or gift industry for a period of eighteen months and not to disclose any confidential information or retain any business records or documents relating to Hallmark. In exchange, Hallmark paid $735,000 to Murley as part of her severance package.

After the expiration of her noncompete agreement, Murley accepted a consulting position with Recycled Paper Greetings (RPG) for $125,000 and disclosed confidential Hallmark information to RPG. Hallmark filed a suit in a federal district court against Murley, alleging breach of contract. A jury returned a verdict in Hallmark’s favor and awarded $860,000 in compensatory damages (the $735,000 severance payment and $125,000 that Murley received from RPG). Murley appealed.

IN THE WORDS OF THE COURT …

BYE, Circuit Judge.

* * * *

With respect to the $735,000, Murley contends Hallmark was not entitled to a return of its full payment under the parties’ separation agreement because Murley fulfilled several material terms of that agreement (e.g., the * * * non-compete provisions). Under the circumstances, we cannot characterize the jury’s reimbursement of Hallmark’s original payment under the separation agreement as grossly excessive or glaringly unwarranted by the evidence. Hallmark’s terms under the separation agreement clearly indicated its priority in preserving confidentiality. At trial, Hallmark presented ample evidence that Murley not only retained but disclosed Hallmark’s confidential materials to a competitor in violation of the terms and primary purpose of that agreement. Thus, the jury’s determination that Hallmark was entitled to a full refund of its $735,000 is not against the weight of the evidence.

With respect to the remaining $125,000 of the jury award, Murley argues Hallmark can claim no entitlement to her compensation by RPG for consulting services unrelated to Hallmark. We agree. In an action for breach of contract, a plaintiff may recover the benefit of his or her bargain as well as damages naturally and proximately caused by the breach and damages that could have been reasonably contemplated by the defendant at the time of the agreement. Moreover, the law cannot elevate the non-breaching party to a better position than she would have enjoyed had the contract been completed on both sides. By awarding Hallmark more than its $735,000 severance payment, the jury award placed Hallmark in a better position than it would find itself had Murley not breached the agreement. The jury’s award of the $125,000 payment by RPG was, therefore, improper. [Emphasis added.]

DECISION AND REMEDY The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit vacated the award of damages but otherwise affirmed the judgment in Hallmark’s favor. The appellate court remanded the case to the lower court to reduce the award of damages to include only the amount of Hallmark’s severance payment.

Question: Do you agree or disagree with the Court's decision and how would you have ruled? Fully explain.

Thirty small communities in Connecticut (population near 10,000 each) gave an average of x = 138.5 reported cases of larceny per year. Assume that σ is known to be 44.5 cases per year. (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean annual number of reported larceny cases in such communities. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean annual number of reported larceny cases in such communities. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(c) Find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean annual number of reported larceny cases in such communities. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(d) Compare the margins of error for parts (a) through (c). As the confidence levels increase, do the margins of error increase?

As the confidence level increases, the margin of error decreases. As the confidence level increases, the margin of error increases.     As the confidence level increases, the margin of error remains the same.

(e) Compare the lengths of the confidence intervals for parts (a) through (c). As the confidence levels increase, do the confidence intervals increase in length?

As the confidence level increases, the confidence interval remains the same length. As the confidence level increases, the confidence interval decreases in length.     As the confidence level increases, the confidence interval increases in length.

Bank Three currently has $600 million in transaction deposits on its balance sheet. The Federal Reserve has currently set the reserve requirement at 10 percent of transaction depositors

If the Federal Reserve decreases the reserve requirement to 8 percent, show the balance sheet of Bank Three and the Federal Reserve System just before and after the full effect of the reserve requirement change. Assume Bank Three withdraws all excess reserves and gives out loans and that borrowers eventually return all of these funds to Bank Three in the form of transaction deposits.

Redo part (a) using a 12 percent reserve requirement.

FINANCIAL LEVERAGE EFFECTS

The Neal Company wants to estimate next year's return on equity (ROE) under different financial leverage ratios. Neal's total capital is $17 million, it currently uses only common equity, it has no future plans to use preferred stock in its capital structure, and its federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. The CFO has estimated next year's EBIT for three possible states of the world: $4.2 million with a 0.2 probability, $2 million with a 0.5 probability, and $0.9 million with a 0.3 probability. Calculate Neal's expected ROE, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for each of the following debt-to-capital ratios. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places at the end of the calculations.

Debt/Capital ratio is 0.

Debt/Capital ratio is 10%, interest rate is 9%.

1. A depository institution that has the following assets with weights as indicated:

$875 million in commercial loans with one to three years maturity (100%);

$105 million in long term treasuries (0%);

$635 million loans secured by 1-4 family first mortgages (35%);

$12 million cash items in collection (20%);

$200 million in cash and reserves (0%);

$500 million in mortgage backed securities guaranteed by US government agencies (20%);

$250 million in consumer loans (100%);

$65 million in state and local governments bonds (20%); and

$25 million in loans that are 90 days or more past due (150%).

b. How much Tier 1 capital must the depository institution have to be considered adequately capitalized?

Effective credit management involves establishing credit standards for extending credit to customers, determining the company’s terms of credit, and setting up procedures for invoicing and collecting past-due accounts.

The following statement refers to a credit management policy. Select the best term to complete the sentence.

The conditions of the credit sale, including cash discounts and due dates, are indicated by the company’s   .

Consider the case of Newtown Co.:

Newtown Co. has a very attractive credit policy, and none of its customers pay in cash when the firm makes a sale. Newtown Co. sells to its customers on credit terms of 2/10, net 30.

If a customer bought $100,000 worth of goods and paid the firm cash eight days after the sale, how much cash would Newtown Co. get from the customer?

$90,000

$98,000

$85,000

$105,000

If the customer paid off the account after 15 days, Newtown Co. would receive     .

Approximately 30% of Newtown Co.’s customers take advantage of the discount and pay on the 10th day. The remaining 70% take an average of 35 days to pay off their accounts. What is Newtown Co.’s days sales outstanding (DSO), or the average collection period?

27.5 days
