And Then There Were None: Requirements Contracts and the Buyer Who Does Not Buy

Authors

Abstract

In requirements contract cases where buyer has significantly reduced—or no—requirements, courts employ inconsistent reasoning, resulting in legal uncertainty and economically inefficient exchanges. This Comment proposes a more predictable, efficient rule that would allow buyer to reduce its requirements after giving seller a business reason for the reduction, placing the risk of reduced requirements explicitly on seller.
