The suit arose out of an alleged agree
ment between Joe Heluhelu, acting as
agent for the Queen offering to lease GER
tain lands on Kauai to Wong Kwai for
$500. Heluhelu addressed letter to
Wong Kwai making the offer of the lease
but subsequently took steps inconsistent
with the contract implied in the letter.
1t was in consequence of this that the
contract had been repudiated by the de-
PENDANT and the Court sustained de-
murrer.
The opinion of the Supreme Court is
written by Chief Justice Frear and is
concurred in by Justice Galbraith and
Circuit Judge Stanley, who sat in the abb
sence of Justice Perry. The important
legal points decided are as follows:
AN oral acceptance by one party of a
written offer signed by the other is suffi-
cient to enable the former to enforce spe-
withstanding the statute of frauds.
"a subsequent oral contract may oper-
ate as an extingufshment of or substitu-
ton for the original, SO as to prevent the
enforcement of the latter as only a
modification of 1t, so as to permit it's en-
fcrcement, subject also to the enforce
ment of the modification at the defend
ants option.
"A contemporaneous oral modification
cannot, in the absence of fraud, mistake
o. part performance, be relied on by eth
err party.
I'm the present case on general demur-
rer the bill for specific performance is
held sufficient the theory that there
was written offer signed by the party to
be charged and accepted orally by the
other, and that If there was an oral modi-
fication it did not operate as extin-
guishment of the original contract"
The case is reversed and remanded to
the Fifth Circuit Court for further pro-
ceedings. Cecil Brown, F. NJ. Hatch and
Lorrin Andrews appeared for the plaintiff
and Robertson and Wilder for the defend
ant
