Populāri fragmenti

378. lappuse - Nothing can be clearer, both upon principle and authority, than the doctrine that the liability of a surety is not to be extended, by implication, beyond the terms of his contract.
309. lappuse - ... as that the object which the parties intended to accomplish to have a specified amount of work performed in a particular manner is not accomplished,' is inconsistent with substantial performance of the contract.
213. lappuse - ... or more or less," or words of like import, the contract applies to the specific lot ; and the naming of the quantity is not regarded as in the nature of a warranty, but only as an estimate of the probable amount, in reference to which good faith is all that is required of the party making it.
220. lappuse - The obligation of a contract is "the law which binds the parties to perform their agreement." Sturges v. Crowninshield, 4 Wheat. 122, 197; Story, op. cit., § 1378. This Court has said that "the laws which subsist at the time and place of the making of a contract, and where it is to be performed, enter into and form a part of it, as if they were expressly referred to or incorporated in its terms. This principle embraces alike those which affect its validity, construction, discharge and enforcement.
274. lappuse - ... all loss or damage arising out of the nature of the work aforesaid, or from the action of the elements...
213. lappuse - When no such independent circumstances are referred to, and the engagement is to furnish goods of a certain quality or character to a certain amount, the quantity specified is material and governs the contract. The addition of the qualifying words 'about,
25. lappuse - It is a settled doctrine of the law of agency that where the principal has clothed his agent with power to do an act upon the existence of some extrinsic fact necessarily and peculiarly within the knowledge of the agent, and of the existence of which the act of executing the power is itself a representation, a third person dealing with such agent in entire good faith, pursuant to the apparent power, may rely upon the representation, and the principal is estopped from denying its truth to his prejudice.
281. lappuse - ... whenever the contract, in any form, comes before the courts, the rights and obligations of the contracting parties must be adjusted upon the same principles as if both contracting parties were private persons. Both stand upon equality before the law, and the sovereign is merged in the dealer, contractor and suitor.
349. lappuse - ... he may keep the contract alive for the benefit of both parties, being at all times himself ready and able to perform, and, at the end of the time specified In the contract...
210. lappuse - Verbal agreements between the parties to a written contract, made before or at the time of the execution of the contract, are in general inadmissible to vary its terms, or to affect its construction. All such verbal agreements are considered as merged in the written contract.
