Nichols v. Raynbred

Court of King's Bench, 1615

Hobart, 88

Audio opinion coming soon

Brief Fact Summary

Nichols agreed to sell and deliver a cow to Raynbred, who agreed to pay 50 shillings. Neither party performed and Nichols brought an assumpsit against Raynbred.

Rule of Law and Holding

Promises must be enforced. This case illustrates the earlier doctrine of enforcing promises, as Raynbred has to pay 50 shillings and all he gets is to assert a claim against Nichols.
