BLOSSOM FARM v. KASSON CHEESE
Court of Appeals of Wisconsin (1986) | 133 Wis.2d 386; 395 N.W.2d 619
TL;DR: A seller sued a buyer for non-payment for a cheese-making ingredient. The court refused to enforce the contract, finding that the seller knew the buyer was using the ingredient to illegally misbrand its cheese, making enforcement of the contract contrary to public policy.
Legal Significance: This case illustrates that a facially legal contract is unenforceable on public policy grounds if the promisee knowingly facilitates the promisor's improper or illegal use of the subject matter, adopting the framework of the Restatement (Second) of Contracts §§ 178 and 182.
