Question that needs to be answered:
Did Goliath breach the contract? Specifically discuss whether the showing by a competitor
movie chain in Toronto constituted a violation of the Goliath/Giant agreement.
To answer the question, here is a link to the Goliath Productions Case:

Here is the business law concept 1 information that should help you do the analysis: (Don’t
cite it and no need to make references)
http://www.csun.edu/~bz51361/gateway/offer.pdf (Offer)
http://www.csun.edu/~bz51361/gateway/accept.pdf (Acceptance)
However, in the Goliath Production Library (found in the Goliath Production case), you will
find the Business Law concept on page 5-7 that needs to be cited in MLA format.
To answer the question above, here are steps to follow:
 Argue both sides
 Cite supporting authority
 Standard: What were the parties’ reasonable expectations?
 Don’t sidestep the issues by saying there’s no agreement
 Promote fairness where it appears there was agreement
 Discuss policy that agreements generally must be enforceable in order to promote
commerce
 What did the parties intend at the time they entered the contract?:
Giant’s argument: They were granted the right to exclusively show the films
without any geographical limitation.
Goliath’s argument: A geographical limitation is implied; presumably Giant’s
exclusivity is extended only to their market, i.e. the U.S.
Important: After arguing both sides of parties, you need to come to a conclusion where
Goliath did breach the contract.
The case analysis should be at least 1 full page and not more than 2 pages. The document
should be single spaced in Times New Roman, size 12.
