Supreme Court rules on contract to give perfect satisfaction
Justice Sherwin of the Supreme Court of Iowa yesterday upheld that an agreement to give perfect satisfaction grants the other party arbitral power to decide satisfaction. In Inman Manufacturing v American Cereal, Cedar Rapids case, the cereal company could reject the machinery without showing defects, invalidating the lower court instruction that required actual non satisfaction. The ruling flatly declares the Remley instruction bad law and clarifies literal contract interpretation.
