Background: Liberty needs to do a presentation for a client from Parsons manufacturing company to explain whether the client has a valid case. The client will be accompanied by in-house counsel from Parsons, so Liberty wants the presentation to be comprehensive in covering all contract law technicalities but must also be easy to understand.
Liberty has asked you to create a PowerPoint to explain and summarize the information to be presented to the client at the meeting.
Facts: Parsons’ manufacturing company is in the business of building chairs. Quality Furniture Company (QFC) sent a Purchase Order to Parsons for 200 chairs at $50.00 per chair. The QFC purchase order was silent as to a warranty.
Parsons responded by sending its acknowledgement form that stated 100 chairs were to be purchased at $50.00 per chair. Preprinted on a Parsons sales form was the statement that “all chairs are warranted for 60 days as to defects and workmanship.”
Parsons sent the 200 chairs and QFC accepted them and paid in full. Thirty days later, QFC noticed that the chairs were splintering due to faulty workmanship. QFC has consulted with Liberty to determine whether it had a valid contract with Parsons.
