Dyer v. Bilaal

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that ambiguity in a contract will be construed against the drafter
• finding that a confidentiality provision was not material, in part, because neither party mentioned confidentiality during the course of settlement negotiations
• explaining that “absent ambiguity, we enforce written contracts according to their terms” and without extrinsic evidence
• concluding emails between the parties that communicated terms and mutual agreement displayed intent to be bound
• finding-an e-mail agreement between the parties to be enforceable because the terms of the agreement were sufficiently defined
• rejecting the idea that the plaintiff “could always avoid his legal obligations [to an otherwise enforceable contract] by later claiming he meant to include a term that he previously failed to mention” (footnote omitted)
