2. What are Abby's rights against Your Day Stationers, if any? If you conclude that Abby has such rights, to what damages do you believe she would be entitled?

Abby may not have many rights against Your Day Stationers because even if it was not what she ordered, she still ended up using their product. The bride and groom were understanding and said that those place cards were ok. They would be considered substantial performance since she used them as an accommodation. When they sent her the cards, according to the mailbox rule, once they are sent out, they count as being accepted (ELE, 304). The note they sent with the accommodation cards was not sent at a reasonable time however, so that can fire back against the stationery company. Yes, the place cards were used and they were okay, but not notifying Abby in advance and not answering her calls was an agreement that lacked consideration (ELE, 304). Then it goes back against Abby because they sent it promptly and that also counts as acceptance (ELE, 348). Also, since they named it an accommodation, that means no contract has been made, so they would have to repay her partially and give her credit since she used the cards.

WEDDING DAY BLUES Abby is a wedding coordinator for a high-end wedding that has been planned for over a year. The reception is set for 450 guests at an expensive and elegant beachfront hotel. Abby telephones and leases tables and chairs for the reception from the contractor she has used numerous times in the past-We Are Weddings. The chairs are requested to be wooden, white folding chairs that will match the white table cloths on the numerous tables. She also orders by telephone 450 place cards of a specific style for the reception from Your Day Stationers. Abby has worked with both We Are Weddings and Your Day Stationers numerous times in the past without a problem. On the morning of the wedding, in accordance with their usual procedure when dealing with Abby, Your Day Stationers delivers the 450 place cards to the hotel. When Abby opens the box, she sees that the place cards are the wrong color, and not in the style she ordered. There is a note with the boxes that states: Abby, sorry but we were out of the type of place cards you ordered. These are therefore nonconforming goods sent to you instead as an accommodation. We regard your telephone order as an offer to buy the place cards from us, and this prompt shipment to be an acceptance of that offer. Therefore, please pay our enclosed invoice. Thank you, Your Day Stationers Abby is furious, and telephones Your Day Stationers. No one answers the phone, so Abby leaves a voicemail message stating that she has no intention of paying for something she did not order. An hour later, a We Are Weddings truck shows up at the hotel. The driver tells Abby that all the chairs and tables are in the trailer being towed by the truck. The truck and trailer are left on the premises for the day, as per the usual procedure used between Abby and We Are Weddings. However, hours later when the trailer doors are opened, it is discovered that the folding chairs are gray metal chairs. The reception is now two hours away. Abby frantically calls We Are Weddings, but no one answersthe phone. Abby then contacts several other vendors and is able to obtain the needed chairs at twice the price quoted by We Are Weddings. There are also \"emergency\" charges and delivery charges that have to be paid. Rehlctantiy. Abby agrees. The bride and groom arevery understanding about the place mrdsand tellAbby not to be concerned. Abby promises them that they \"obviously\" will not be charged [or the mistake. The white chairs arrive. and both the wedding and reception go forward with no further issues presented. The nextdamAbbywritesane-mailtoWeAreWeddings denundingthat shebereimbursedtorall the charges she has had to incur. We Are Weddings responds by e-mail and demands payment of their own invoice. We Are Weddings' position is that Abby should have inspected the chairs upon delivery. and that if she had done so. they could have provided the needed chairs that day. We Are Weddings claims that Abby effectively accepted the delivery. Abby responds by claiming that she is revoking the acceptance, if there ever was one. We Are Weddings says she is too late to take that position. As Abby stares at the e-mail in 'ustraon. the telephone rings. It is someone from Your Day Stationers, who tells Abby that they \"fully expect\" their invoice to be paid in full.
