Select оne оf the twо written problems below to respond to. Respond with specificity аnd detаil. If you include а rule of law, make sure you define it. If you respond to both problems, which you should not, only your first response will be graded. Written Problem #1 In March 2025, GreenLeaf Hospitality Group ("GreenLeaf"), a boutique hotel chain marketed around eco-luxury and sustainability, entered into a $4.2 million contract with Builders, LLC ("Builders") to construct a new flagship hotel in Portland, Oregon. The contract included detailed design specifications, including that the lobby reception desk and bar counters be finished with certified reclaimed teak wood paneling, chosen for its appearance, durability, and — critically — its third-party sustainability certification, which GreenLeaf intended to use to support its "eco-luxury" marketing claims and to pursue a Green Building certification for the property. The contract identified the certified teak as a "signature sustainability element" of the design. Builders subcontracted the interior carpentry work to Premier Woodworks, Inc., a firm it had used on several prior projects. Due to an unexpected shortage of certified teak from its regular supplier, and a breakdown in communication between Premier's purchasing department and its installation crew, Premier installed non-certified reclaimed teak that was visually indistinguishable from the certified material and comparable in durability and cost, but lacked the sustainability certification. Premier's purchasing manager became aware of the substitution shortly after installation but did not inform Builders or GreenLeaf, believing the issue would likely go unnoticed and did not want to delay the project or incur costs reordering certified material. Neither Builders's project manager nor the on-site architect noticed the substitution during installation. The hotel opened on schedule, and GreenLeaf was satisfied with the space until it later pursued formal Green Building certification and learned that the uncertified teak disqualified the project from earning certification points it had been counting on. Although the appearance, durability, and cost of the substituted teak are comparable to the specified material, GreenLeaf claims that the loss of sustainability certification undermines its marketing claims and its ability to obtain Green Building certification, and that this violates both the contract and the spirit of its sustainability mission. GreenLeaf now seeks to rescind the contract or, alternatively, demands that Builders replace all of the affected wood paneling with certified teak at Builders's expense. Please respond to the following statements and letter the parts of your responses. A. (up to 2 points) If GreenLeaf tries to rescind its contract with Builders, identify and define the most likely and best legal doctrine Builders might use to defend itself. B. (up to 4 points) Apply the doctrine identified above to the facts of this problem (analysis), and provide a logical, well-reasoned conclusion. C. (up to 3 points) If the court finds the breach to be a minor breach, explain whether GreenLeaf has any remedy and/or damages available, and if so, what that remedy and/or damages would be. D. (1 point) Separate from the legal analysis above, briefly evaluate whether Premier Woodworks' purchasing manager acted ethically in choosing not to disclose the substitution once it was discovered. Identify the relevant ethical principle at stake in your answer. OR Written Problem #2 Heritage Furniture Co. is a mid-sized furniture manufacturer. During the past year, Heritage Furniture entered into the following four agreements, all of which were made orally unless otherwise noted. For each part below, state whether the agreement falls within the Statute of Frauds (and therefore must be evidenced by a writing to be enforceable), and briefly explain why, citing and describing the relevant Statute of Frauds category and any applicable exception. Letter your responses. Part A (3 points) Heritage Furniture's owner, Frank, personally and orally promised a fabric supplier that if Frank's son's new startup company failed to pay for fabric the supplier shipped to the startup, Frank would pay the debt himself out of his personal funds. Frank made this promise primarily to help his son get the startup off the ground, not because Frank had any independent business interest in the fabric. Does this promise fall within the Statute of Frauds? Explain. Part B (3 points) Heritage Furniture orally agreed to purchase 50 custom-built chairs from a manufacturer at $40 per chair ($2,000 total). After the agreement was made, the manufacturer shipped all 50 chairs to Heritage Furniture, and Heritage Furniture accepted and paid for the entire shipment. Does this agreement fall within the Statute of Frauds? Explain. Part C (2 points) Heritage Furniture orally agreed to lease warehouse space for a term of 14 months, with the lease to begin on the date the parties signed the agreement. Does this agreement fall within the Statute of Frauds? Explain. Part D (2 points) Heritage Furniture orally agreed to sell a small parcel of undeveloped land it owned next to its factory to a neighboring business for $80,000. Does this agreement fall within the Statute of Frauds? Explain.
