Hotel Man’s Court Case Ends In Odd Dinner Verdict
A case in which a traveler was sued for a large payment ends with an unusual jury verdict after dinner at the inn. The judge rules the agreement invalid, citing implied terms and the European plan for meals. The keeper charged fares for “two boiled eggs” and other fare, claiming implied inclusion in the contract. The jury finds the defendant liable for the claimed amount, though the court notes the culinary conduct was peculiar. The decision underscores disputes over implied terms in early 20th century lodging contracts.
