Nature Of The Case

This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Facts

Betaco (P) put a down payment on a new jet with Cessna (D) on the basis that the new jet would be faster, more efficient, and have more range than the jet they currently owned. P got a brochure and a sales letter from D proclaiming the new jet's attributes. P signed a purchase agreement that contained a read and understand clause and a detailed explanation of warranties/ P paid $150,000 and then discovered that the new jet would not have a greater range and decided to cancel the order. D refused to return the deposit. P sued in diversity for an express breach of warranty. The court ruled against D's claim that the purchase agreement was a fully integrated document. P got to enter cover letter representations of the jet's range. P eventually got the jury verdict under the express warranty theory and got the judgment. D appealed.
