How courts have described this case

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

• indefiniteness can defeat a contract claim in two ways: (a) by indicating the parties failed to reach an agreement, or (b) by preventing enforcement because the terms are not reasonably certain
• oral contract that defendant would pay plaintiff 1% to 10% commission for securing contracts was enforceable, and jury could find defendant breached contract by failing to pay at least 1% rate
• “[W]hen two parties have bargained for one of them to provide personal services … but … have left the payment term to later negotiations, a court … may determine that the parties have reached an enforceable contract to provide the services for a ‘reasonable’ payment.”
