Shana and Meng-Lu hired Billy to photograph their wedding, agreeing to pay $1,500 when Billy delivered the proofs, negatives, and contact sheets, and extra sums for any prints they ordered. The wedding went off beautifully and Billy snapped away feverishly. The photographer developed hundreds of color proofs and many black and white contact sheets, and the pictures looked great. Later that week, as Billy was driving his girlfriend to her business law class, the two had a bitter fight over the definition of "bailment." In a moment of forensic rage, Billy hurled into the river what he believed was his girlfriend's backpack of business law books, only to realize moments later that it was his own backpack, containing all of Shana and Meng-Lu's pictures, that was racing downstream and out to sea. Shana and Meng-Lu sued, claiming breach of a bailment agreement and breach of contract. Billy has moved to dismiss both the bailment and contract claims.
