CA1: First undertake Corbonite maneuver

By S. COTUS

Reyelt v. Danzell, No. 07-2603.  This is a lawsuit of what amounts to a contract for purchase of a property gone bad.  The First has kind words for the District Court, but decides to write about what it views as ?recurring? problems.  These revolve around the use of timing provisions in contracts, as well as ?best efforts? clauses.  I can't say it is the most scholarly opinion (after all, it doesn't really bind Rhode Island courts), but I guess someone feels it was necessary for the First to talk about contracts. 

Remember: If you understand the joke in the title of this post, you are a law geek and therefore have no business practicing law because of your lack of polish.
