Generally

C.A.3, 2016. Cit. generally in sup., cit. generally in ftn., cit. generally in case cit. in ftn. Trucking
company  that was assigned direct purchaser's antitrust claims filed a putative antitrust class action to
represent Class 8 truck purchasers against, among others, manufacturers of transmissions for Class 8
heavy-duty trucks, alleging that defendants engaged in a monopolization conspiracy. The district court
granted defendants' motion to dismiss. This court reversed and remanded, holding that an assignment of
a federal antitrust claim did not need to be supported by bargained-for consideration in order to confer
standing on an indirect purchaser. The court cited caselaw that relied on the Restatement of Contracts
and the Restatement Second of Contracts in determining the contours of federal common law, and
concluded that the Restatement Second of Contracts supported its conclusion that consideration was not
required to give effect to an assignment. Wallach v. Eaton Corporation, 837 F.3d 356, 361, 367, 368.

§ 56. Acceptance of Offer for Unilateral Contract; Necessity of Notification to Offeror

Kan.App.2017.   Com. (a) cit. in sup. Masonry subcontractor sued general contractor, alleging that
defendant failed to pay for services performed in connection with four public-school construction
projects. After a bench trial, the trial court found that, although the parties did not enter into express
contracts, they entered into implied-in-fact contracts based on the written proposals that plaintiff sent to
defendant, which defendant used to bid on the projects. Affirming, this court held that plaintiff did not
