Contract Validity After Statutory Change
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe dispute concerned the validity of a contract following a change in the purported governing statute, with the initial transaction occurring before the statute's effective date and subsequent payments being made after. The court reasoned that because the formation and initial breach of the contract occurred when the pre-existing statute governed the transaction, the subsequent statutory change did not invalidate the contract; the court applied the law in effect at the time of the contract's execution to resolve the breach claim, affirming the lower court's findings regarding the contract's validity under the former law.
