WHEN PHONE ORDER BINDS
A BUSINESS TRANSACTION
Sales and Other Business, Closed by Wire, Are as
Binding as Any.
Business transacted by telephone, telegraph or the
mails, is just as binding upon the individuals or firms
involved as though they had stood face to face, and
signed contracts or written orders, according to a
decision recently by the District of Columbia Court
of Appeals, at Washington.
This ruling applies even to cases in which the
actual identity of the person sending a letter or a
telegram or using the telephone could be established
only with great difficulty by the person receiving the
telegram, the telephone call or the letter.
To switch things around, the person at the send-
ing end of the transaction has a right, according to
the Court, to assume that the person receiving is
actually the person desired to receive the call, the let-
ter or the telegram, provided that the subject matter,
or the desired action, is acted upon or brought about
at a result of the call, telegram or letter.
In other words, if Smith in New York City calls
Jones in Washington on the telephone and talks to
a person he believes to be Jones or is acting for
Jones, and the result is that Jones, or someone repre-
senting him, does what Smith wants done, it is bind-
ing on all concerned; especially so, the Court holds,
when a telephone conversation is followed by con-
firmatory letters or telegrams.
With regard to letters and telegrams, the Court
holds that the sender has a right to assume that
the person for whom these communications are in-
tended actually received them if the desired action
or non-action follows their receipt. The receiver of
•these communications also has the right, the Court
said, to assume that they come from where they pur-
port to come and from whom they purport to come.
