Southern-Gulf Marine Co. No. 9, Inc. v. Camcraft, Inc. case brief summary

Southern-Gulf Marine v. Camcraft case brief summary
410 So.2d 1181 (1982)

FACTS
-Defendant promised to construct a large boat for plaintiff. It turned out that their
contract was signed before the plaintiff had incorporated.
Defendant (wanting to get out of a contract that turned out to be a bad deal) argued
that since one party to the contract did not exist, the contract itself was invalid.

HOLDING
Court holds that absent harm to the substantial rights of the defendant arising from
the plaintiff’s lack of incorporation at the time of the contract, the contract should be
enforced.
