Discharge of Obligations, Remedies, & Sales of Goods
As you read chapters 15, 16, & 17, you will gain insight into methods by which contracts are
terminated, types of remedies available when breach results, and how the Uniform Commercial
Code in Article 2 governs the sales of physical goods.
In 2000, the hit television show, Friends, encountered a contractual crisis. The six actors who
played iconic roles since 1994, had recently signed a valid agreement to be paid $150,000 each per
episode, but now threatened to quit the show if they did not get a raise to $1,000,000 each per
episode. They all were still under contract at the lower compensation level, but decided collectively
to seek a raise immediately, rather than wait another 2 years for the next round of negotiations.
From the perspective of NBC, the employer of the six actors, identify and describe options in
response to this threat (breach of contract). Out of the options listed, select one you believe
is the best option for NBC in this case.
