U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2706
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - contracts. The district court did not err in submitting to
the jury the issue of whether defendant had orally agreed to purchase
$3.05 million worth of gloves from plaintiff as two written documents -
the Vendor Buying Agreement and the Resource Allowance Contact - did not,
as a matter of law, render the oral commitment void; a reasonable jury
could, on the basis of the evidence presented, find the parties had
entered into a valid oral agreement for sale of the gloves; no error in
awarding plaintiff pre-judgment interest as plaintiff's damages were
readily ascertainable.
