Grand Connectivity, LLC v. Centennial Communications, Corp.

Citation: 106 F. App'x 928Docket: No. 02-2487

Court: Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit; June 29, 2004; Federal Appellate Court

EnglishEspañolSimplified EnglishEspañol Fácil
Plaintiff Grand Connectivity, LLC appeals the district court's summary judgment in favor of Defendant Centennial Communications Corp., which dismissed Plaintiff's claims of breach of contract, promissory estoppel, and fraud. The court affirmed the lower court's ruling, stating that no contract existed due to a lack of agreement on essential terms between the parties, which only resulted in an agreement to negotiate. The court referenced case law to support the conclusion that there was no meeting of the minds necessary for a valid contract. 

Additionally, the court found that Plaintiff did not provide sufficient evidence of a clear promise or demonstrate detrimental reliance necessary to support the promissory estoppel claim. As a result, the district court's judgment was upheld, confirming that the Plaintiff's default on a significant payment to the FCC was not due to any wrongdoing by the Defendant, but rather a failure to establish a binding agreement.
