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

P entered into an oral agreement with D for D to be a principal actor in a pilot film and in a television series which might develop. D performed in the pilot but refused to perform in the subsequent television series. The court found that the only essential term that was not agreed upon was the starting date of the filming for the television series. The court supplied this term by resort to proof of industry custom and practice of which both parties were found to be aware of. D appealed.
