Application Of The Four Corners Rule
Randy entered into a contract with his neighbor to construct a fence on their shared property line. The contract stipulated that Randy would pay for the materials, while the neighbor would build the fence. The terms permitted the neighbor to purchase the materials independently, specifying only a maximum price Randy agreed to pay. Upon completion, Randy was dissatisfied with the style of the fence and sued to recover his money. Is Randy likely to prevail in court, and why?
A
No, because parol evidence demonstrates that the style was not deemed important at the time of the agreement.
B
No, because the agreement was not an enforceable contract, depriving the court of jurisdiction.
C
Yes, because the neighbor acted in bad faith by failing to seek approval for the materials prior to purchase.
D
No, because the four corners rule applies to this contract.
E
Yes, because parol evidence indicates an implied intent by both parties to mutually agree on the fence style.
