Generally

W.D.Wash.2022. Cit.   generally in sup. Time charterer of a barge sued owner of the barge, seeking to
recover for damages sustained by the barge during the charter periods. This court denied plaintiff's
motion for partial summary judgment, holding that, aside from four specifically delineated exceptions,
the time charters unambiguously provided for knock for knock indemnification-requiring each party
to assume responsibility for its own injuries or damages without regard to fault-and did not impose
strict liability on defendant for damage to the barge. In making its decision, the court relied in part on
principles of contract interpretation set forth in the Restatement Second of Contracts, noting that the
Ninth Circuit looked to the Restatement Second of Contracts to determine basic elements of contract
law. DeForge Maritime  Towing, LLC  v. Alaska Logistics, LLC, 591 F.Supp.3d 939, 948.



                              CHAPTER 1. MEANING OF TERMS

§ 1. Contract Defined

Fla.App.2022.  Cit. in sup. Operator of motor scooter sued insureds, alleging that defendants' vehicle
was involved in a vehicular accident that injured plaintiff. The trial court determined that no settlement
agreement  existed between plaintiff and defendants' insurer. This court reversed, holding that an
enforceable settlement agreement existed between plaintiff and defendants' insurer. The court cited
Restatement Second  of Contracts §§ 1 and 17 in illustrating fundamental contract-law principles, and
explained that, here, plaintiff made a valid unilateral offer to defendants' insurer when plaintiff offered
to release all claims against insurer and defendants in exchange for a specified sum, and insurer validly
accepted the offer by complying with plaintiff's demand for insurer to pay the specified sum in two
separate checks. Koung v. Giordano, 346 So.3d 108, 114.

§ 2. Promise; Promisor;  Promisee; Beneficiary

E.D.Pa.2022.  Subsec. (1) quot. in sup. Tenured professor at university sued university, alleging, among
other things, that university breached the policy on misconduct contained in his employment agreement
with university by conducting preliminary assessments of a research paper he had co-authored-that
was previously found to remain accepted and competent scientific research following an investigation
by another university and a medical association-which were longer in duration and more searching in
their review than permitted by the policy. This court granted in part university's motion to dismiss,
