The plaintiff and the defendant entered into a three-year contract in which the defendant would be the sole supplier of steel parts that the plaintiff used in its products. A dispute arose after the defendant sought to surcharge the parts sold to reflect increased costs. The plaintiff filed a lawsuit for breach of contract, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant, finding on a special verdict that there had been a valid modification to the contract, based solely on e-mails between the parties. Is this evidence enough to support a reformation of the contract?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Emails show an agreement between the defendant and the plaintiff and as long as they are proved to be actually between the parties, it is considered evidence.

We must note that the price of the material is one of the most significant elements of any selling or manufacturing agreement and there must be a written agreement on the terms of increase in price to accommodate any changes in the price of the material by both the parties in the agreement.

Is email considered a legal document?

As the court found that there has been a modification of the terms of the contract only on the basis of the written e-mails, in my opinion, it is not a valid argument.

Contract Modification Law?

Any changes in the terms of the contracts must be included in the new or modified agreement. Thus, in my opinion, it is not a valid reason to form a modified contract unless a new contract is made including the new terms and conditions.
