Assignment: Contract Dispute Analysis between David & Emma

Case Study:

David and Emma entered into a contract for David to provide landscaping services at Emma's home. The contract specified that David would mow the lawn weekly, prune shrubs monthly, and provide fall and spring clean-up services. In return, Emma agreed to pay David $200 per month.

After two months, Emma notified David that she no longer needed his services as she was moving out of the home. David claims that Emma owes him payment for the remaining 10 months under the contract. Emma disagrees, arguing that the contract was terminable at will by either party.

David sues Emma for breach of contract, seeking $2,000 in damages for the alleged breach. Emma's defense is that the contract was terminable at will.

Task

1. Analyze whether the contract between David and Emma is terminable at will or requires Emma to continue using David's services for the full year. Discuss relevant common law principles and case precedents.

2. Determine whether Emma breached the contract by terminating David's services after two months. Provide legal analysis citing contract law principles to support your conclusion.

3. Advise whether David is likely to prevail in his breach of contract claim against Emma. Explain your reasoning.

4. Discuss any other potential claims or defenses either party may assert related to this contract dispute. Identify any relevant contract law doctrines.
