Kudos to Kim Krawiec, but . . .

Kim Krawiec (right) was, until recently, a friend of the blog.  And with good reason.  She does interesting work on contracts law.  Indeed, you can see some of her interesting work on contracts law here.  But note that “here” does not mean here.  Professor Krawiec has chosen to post contracts content on a rival blog.  Not even a contracts blog.  Does she not know that this blog, i.e., the ContractsProf Blog, is the world’s premiere contracts law blog?

If you were to go over to that other blog, where Professor Krawiec posted her contracts law content, which you totally shouldn’t do because it’s not the premiere contracts law blog or even a contracts law blog at all, you might learn the following:

Two medical centers have brought suit against the National Kidney Register (NKR).  Both were being charged under their agreements with NKR for having a kidney deficit — that is, they took more kidneys from the register than they added to it.  The agreement provides that NKR can charge medical centers $1000/kidney/month every month until they make up the deficit.  The case raises interesting questions about liquidated damages/penalty clauses.

We could tell you more, but we don’t want to spoil it for you.  Actually,  we do.  The cases settled, so we’ll never know how the court would have resolved the issue.  And that’s all you would know if you had read Professor Krawiec’s post, which you totally shouldn’t do because we’ve told you everything you would get out of reading her post, which is excellent, by the way.  Unless you want the links that she provides to documents relevant to the cases.  

So, kudos to Professor Krawiec for a great post about contracts law.

Next time, post on the ContractsProf Blog.
