Untimely pizza order

Originally published by David Coale.

An “area developer” for Pizza Inn did not timely renew his option contract related to the potential development of new stores. The Fifth Circuit reversed a judgment for the developer, finding that Texas’s doctrine of “equitable intervention” did not apply. The alleged harms from nonrenewal–“a partial forfeiture of a $1,250,000 purchase price, a forfeiture of future profits . . . , and the shuttering of a Pizza Inn franchise store”–were either within the scope of the contractual bargain or simply not unconscionable, as required by the doctrine. Pizza Inn v. Cairday, No. 19-11302 (Nov. 4, 2020).
