CONTINENTAL LABORATORIES V. SCOTT PAPER CO.
759 F. Supp. 538, aff'd, 938 F.2d 184 (8th Cir. 1991)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a motion for summary judgment.
FACTS: Continental (P) and Scott (D) entered into negotiations for P to supply D with
hotel amenity products and D would distribute then within designated areas of the U.S. Many
drafts of a potential agreement were submitted between parties and eventually on July 19th,
D announced internally that a deal had been reached and P was under the impression that an
oral contract was reached that would be memorialized by writing. D's position was that no
contract had been reached and there was no intent to be bound until a signed written
agreement had been consummated. Meetings and more meetings ensued with more changes and
eventually Scott decided there was no longer any interest in the venture and terminated
their relations. P sued D over an alleged binding oral contract. D moved for summary
judgment.
