You may begin PART TWO after your break. A retired couple owned timberland in the northern United States. The couple had inherited the land years ago from one set of their parents who had attempted to farm it. The growing season proved too short for crops, however, so the couple had converted the farm into forest by planting a large quantity of Eastern white pine. Eastern white pine grows with especially straight trunks, which makes its lumber ideal for construction. The couple had converted the farm into forest decades ago, and the trees would be ready to harvest in another two years. The couple lived in a modest house in a nearby town. The town was surrounded by pine forest; over the years, most families had converted their cold-climate farms into timberland. Before their retirement, the couple would walk through their portion of the forest every summer and clear brush and undergrowth to reduce the risk of forest fires. Although the work was exhausting, the couple loved spending time there. Now, however, the retired couple was having trouble making ends meet. They were outliving their savings, and their monthly social security check wasn't sufficient to pay for groceries, gas, and the utilities needed in a cold climate. With reluctance, the couple decided to sell their beloved timberland. Fortunately, their adult grandchild was interested in buying the land. She had studied forestry in college and had spent time every summer of her childhood hiking through her grandparents' forest. The purchase price was the fair market value of the timberland, and the granddaughter was able to borrow the money for the purchase from her bank. The sale of the timberland included two contracts. The first was a timber purchase agreement. The timber purchase agreement sold the stand of pine at a stated price to a nearby sawmill in advance of its harvest in two years' time. The retired couple had entered into the timber purchase agreement a year ago to fix the price of their harvested timber so they wouldn't be subject to fluctuations in the market price of lumber during the few years remaining before the timber was harvested. The price set in the contract also gave the couple a way to measure their loss if their timber was destroyed by fire or other natural disaster. If the timberland produced a smaller yield of lumber than was stated in the contract, the timber purchase agreement provided that the couple would pay the sawmill for the shortfall. The second contract included in the sale was a crop insurance policy for timber. Crop insurance was important to timber operations, given the long period of time between the planting of pine seedlings and the harvesting of the mature trees; with trees, there was no annual cycle of planting and harvest. Furthermore, if a natural disaster destroyed part of their timber, the couple could use the crop insurance to make up the shortfall under the timber purchase agreement. The couple knew from their insurance agent that several families used timber purchase agreements and timber crop insurance to protect themselves from market swings and natural disasters. However, there were other families who declined both forms of protection, willing to take on risk to avoid the expense of crop insurance premiums and to gain the benefit of any increase in the market price of lumber. In anticipation of the sale of their timberland, the couple spoke with their insurance agent to see whether there would be any problem with their crop insurance policy transferring over to their granddaughter as the timberland's new owner. The agent listened to their plans and thought that the couple would benefit from an annuity contract. The agent explained that the couple could purchase the annuity contract with the money they received for their pine forest, and the contract would pay them a monthly amount for as long as they lived; they couldn't outlive their savings. The agent believed that the insurance company would agree to the transfer of the insurance policy to the new owner of the timberland, especially if the couple were agreeable to buying their annuity contract from the same insurance company. The agent would point out to the insurance company that the policy would continue to cover the same timber operation, just with a new owner. The following week, the agent called the couple and let them know that the insurance company had in fact agreed to the transfer of the timber crop insurance policy to the new owner, especially given the fact that the couple would be purchasing an annuity contract from the company. The couple passed the word on to their granddaughter as the buyer-to-be, without mentioning their plan to purchase an annuity contract. The couple and their granddaughter signed the documents for the sale and purchase of the timberland, and the granddaughter took over the operation of the timberland. Shortly afterwards, the couple purchased their annuity contract. A month later, a dry spell set in and became increasingly more serious. At first, the county fire department was able to put out the small fires that began spontaneously in the forest around the town. But the drought became severe, and eventually a massive forest fire destroyed all of the forest growing on the timberland formerly owned by the couple and now owned by their granddaughter. The granddaughter filed a claim under the timber crop insurance policy for the loss and notified the sawmill under the timber purchase agreement that there was no timber to purchase. The sawmill agreed with the granddaughter that the mill would take the amount paid by the insurance company in full payment of the amount that the granddaughter owed under the timber purchase agreement. The mill arguably was entitled to more, because the shortage of timber caused by drought-induced forest fires had driven up the market price of lumber substantially. The sawmill was willing to settle for less to maintain good relations with the granddaughter and the other timber growers in the region; the mill wanted to do business with the growers in the future. Accordingly, the granddaughter sent a letter to the insurance company via the insurance agent in town directing the insurance company to pay the claim for the lost timber directly to the sawmill. The granddaughter's timberland had seen a forest fire once before, although on a much smaller scale. Ten years previously, fire caused by a lightning storm had destroyed about an acre of timber. The couple had a crop insurance policy from the same company, and the company had paid the claim promptly and in full. But this time, things were different: the insurance company denied the claim. In a letter to the granddaughter, the insurance company wrote that the granddaughter was mistaken in thinking that she had a policy with the insurance company; the policy referred to in the claim was owned by someone else (the retired couple). In addition, the loss of the crop wasn't covered by the policy because no natural disaster had occurred within the definition given in the policy; the company had determined that the fire was caused by human-induced climate change. The granddaughter shared the insurance company's letter with the sawmill. The insurance company had also denied the claims of the sawmill's other growers in the area. The sawmill has now turned to the attorney in town for whom you are clerking during the summer after your first year of law school. The sawmill has asked for legal advice from the attorney about a possible suit against the insurance company to collect on the retired couple's insurance policy. The attorney has asked you to review the materials dropped off by the sawmill and to give the attorney your analysis of the client's position, limiting your analysis to contract law. The materials consist of copies of the insurance policy, the timber purchase agreement, and notes made by the retired couple of the conversations they had with the insurance agent in town at the time they lined up the current insurance policy for their timberland. You are also familiar with the facts of the situation. The insurance policy included the following provisions: "2.3 Covered Loss in the Event of Natural Disaster. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Insured for a Substantial Timber Loss caused by a Natural Disaster. A "Substantial Timber Loss" is defined as the loss of twenty percent or more, as measured in acres of timberland, of the timber growing on the Insured's declared timber acreage. A "Natural Disaster" is defined as a forest fire, flood, or other act of Providence not caused by intentional or knowing human action, including human-induced climate change. "9.1 Assignments. This Agreement may not be assigned by either the Company or the Insured without the prior written consent of the Company. "9.2 Additional Insureds. In its discretion, the Company may pay any claim filed by the Insured to a lender or other creditor of the Insured. "9.3 Amendment of the Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only in writing and only by a writing signed by the Company. "9.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding on the successors and assignees of the Insured. "9.5 Entire Agreement. This writing embodies the entire agreement between the Company and the Insured. No terms not stated in this writing shall be deemed to be a part of the agreement between the Company and the Insured." The timber purchase agreement included the following provisions: "5.2 Shortfall in Yield. If the Seller's timber harvest falls short of the Minimum Amount defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser for each missing unit of timber the market price of Eastern white pine lumber established on the Chicago market for immediate delivery on the Delivery Date as defined elsewhere in this Agreement. The Purchaser may elect to apply such payment as a credit against the purchase price of the remaining timber. "5.3 Assignment of Insurance Proceeds. By signing this Agreement, the Seller assigns to the Purchaser its right to payment under any timber crop insurance policy for the Crop as defined elsewhere in this Agreement, up to the amount the Seller owes under Section 5.2." The notes made by the couple at the time they took out the current policy included the following: "Annual premium goes up by 3 percent, but coverage expanded to include more natural disasters than 2011-12." Essay Question No. 1: Write a memorandum to the attorney giving your analysis of the sawmill's position regarding the claim under the retired couple's insurance policy for the lost timber, limiting your analysis to contract law.
