Repudiation Is Also Upheld in Board of Trade Case
The supreme court upholds the appellate ruling that contracts to sell on a future date are options and may be repudiated. Henry Woods offered 60,000 bushels of wheat to Mark Ibeaves with a December delivery and a $60 price to keep open an offer to September 11. Woods repudiated when acceptance was available, and damages were established at $1,425 by the superior court, later reversed by the appellate court. The high court also ruled the Board of Trade cannot be forced by courts to enforce its rules regarding reinstatement and dues for suspended members, upholding the suspension and payment dispute. The court further disbars Richard C. S. Reaugh and others for unprofessional conduct, and finds the 1905 crime-against-children law invalid due to title scope.
