Question:
The Taylors bought an oceanfront lot in Oregon. The next year, Staley bought an oceanfront lot south of the Taylors and built a home on it. Over the years, Staley often expressed concern that when the Taylors built their house, they could block her view. They said they would not. When they began planning their home, they asked Staley to submit a letter in support of a setback variance they sought. She said she would as long as her view wasn’t blocked. They again told her it wouldn’t be blocked. When the house was built, it partially blocked her view. She sued for breach of an implied contract. Can an implied contract be inferred from the parties’ conduct? Explain.
