No implied contract when . . .

Originally published by David Coale.

“In November 2015, over a year after Richter claims that an implied contract had been formed, the parties exchanged a letter of intent. The letter stated that it was to be construed as securing a “preliminary understanding” between the parties and to serve as “a preliminary basis for negotiating a written agreement that will contain additional material terms, conditions and provisions not yet agreed upon by the parties.” The letter explicitly stated that it did not constitute a binding contract. We agree with the district court that this renders implausible any inference that the prior 2014 e-mail was intended by the parties to represent assent to be bound by contract …”  Richter v. Carnival Corp., No. 20-10480 (Dec. 1, 2020).
