FWD: CASE ANALYSIS FOR FIVE CASES 1

Philadelphia ball club v. lajoie

Lajoie had a contract to play for Philadelphia club of baseball for a stipulated period. He

was permitted to play for any other club during the contract period. Despite that agreement, he

went against that obligation. He consented to play for a rival organization as a disregard to his

contract. The club plotted to restrain the player for disobedience of the agreement signed (Wang

2017). A deal entails peculiar convenience or benefit and where a loss arises as a matter of

uncertainty, the breach is deemed to lead to an irreparable injury. The court denied an injunction

by concluding that, in concern with the interference of warranty agreement, the services of the

player had to be remarkable. This meant that the player has played for a rival club, he was to be

replaced, and the player suffers an irreparable loss to the baseball club. The club decided to

appeal the case.

Tillman v. New Orleans saints football club

Plaintiff football filed a case against New Orleans Saints Football club because of money

issue concerning the agreement of the club to the player on April 23, 1969 (Wang 2017). The

agreement stated that the football club had to pay Plaintiff $12,000 for the football season of

1967. Before the start of the agreed football season, the player got a torn ligament of the knee.

The club waived Plaintiff late in the same year. The team physician operated the player in a trial

to mend the torn knee ligament. The doctor gave a conclusion that a week before the termination

of the player's contract, he will have fully recovered and be in good condition to play in the pitch.

Contrary, an orthopedic surgeon report cleared the air by saying that the player won't be able to

play fully. Contraction of a third doctor was not applicable because the surgeon's opinions were

given more weight. Although there was no notice written to terminate the contract, the player

bared an actual warning. This resulted to dismissal of his complaint by the trial court, but he

decided to file an appeal to his complaint.
