• holding that trial court should have considered merits of post-trial motion filed one day late because untimeliness did not “upset effective court procedure or prejudice[ ] the . . . parties”
• explaining that where there are proper liquidated damages provisions in a contract a party “cannot later claim entitlement to actual damages”
• reversing finding of waiver where one filing deadline missed by one day due to inclement weather
• mentioning an agreed upon duty to use best efforts in promoting plaintiff’s products
• attempted oral modification and parties’ course of performance thereafter effectuated valid waiver of implicated original contract terms notwithstanding no oral modification clause
• Superior Court found trial court abused discretion in failing to consider the merit of post-trial motions, where motions were filed only one day late and opposing party did not assert any prejudice.
