Mississippi Supreme Court
Palmer's Grocery Inc. d/b/a Palmer's Shoppers Value Foods, Jason Palmer and Damon Palmer v. Chandler's JKE, Inc…
October 2, 2025
Summary
The court held that the complaint plausibly alleged that the parties' oral agreement could be enforceable under both the merchants' confirmatory-writing exception and the received-and-accepted-goods exception to the Statute of Frauds. Because factual questions remained concerning the attorney's email, contract formation, and the Chandlers' receipt and acceptance of the goods, dismissal at the pleading stage was premature. The court also reinstated the related estoppel and negligent-misrepresentation claims.
