Community Design Corporation v. Antonell
District Court of Appeal of Florida
459 So.2d 343 (1984)
Relevant factsFree
Community Design Corporation (CDC) (defendant) promised Antonell (plaintiff) a bonus and paid vacation if he stayed employed and completed architectural drawings by Christmas, without specifying the exact bonus amount (left to his supervisor's discretion) or precisely what would count as "complete" drawings; Antonell worked overtime, stayed employed, and submitted the drawings before Christmas, but never received the bonus or vacation. He sued for breach of contract, and the jury found for him; CDC appealed, arguing the contract's missing terms made it unenforceable for indefiniteness.
IssueFree
Whether a contract is strictly unenforceable for lack of certainty if material terms are omitted.
