Cardoso v. Hill
Byrde Hill appeals a judgment after a nonjury trial awarding Raul Cardoso $60,000 in damages for breach of an oral contract. Cardoso alleged and the court found that Hill agreed to purchase two horses from Cardoso for a total price of $80,000, accepted delivery of both horses, but paid only $20,000. Hill contends she agreed to purchase only one stallion, known as Quimbanda (also known as Fabio), for $15,000 and paid an additional $5,000 as a down payment on a conditional purchase of the second stallion, Pinguim. She also contends the alleged contract is unenforceable because it is not in writing, Cardoso failed to mitigate his damages, and the court abused its discretion by setting a trial date so soon after the filing of her answer as to effectively preclude written discovery. Court conclude that Hill has shown no error and affirm the judgment.
