Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The initial dispute involved a claim that a contract's express terms had been waived or modified through consistent past conduct, specifically concerning payment deadlines, and that this course of performance established a controlling interpretation of the agreement, which the other party subsequently breached by enforcing the strict written term. The court reasoned that while parties can modify agreements through performance, the evidence failed to demonstrate a clear, mutual understanding or assent to permanently alter the written contract's explicit deadline; absent such a clear demonstration, the written terms controlled the interpretation, thus defeating the claim of waiver or breach based on past informal practices.
