Release-By-Release? The Michigan Supreme Court Is Asked To Clarify 2023 Requirement Contracts Ruling in Airboss

Those familiar with the supplier and buyer contracting realm will have likely heard of a “requirements contract” or a “blanket purchase order” which essentially allows parties to mutually guarantee that they will buy and sell to each other for a specific period of time, but lets the parties figure out the exact amount of a product later, often on an order-by-order basis. This approach is often favored for its reliability in knowing your supply needs are met (or you have a reliable buyer), while letting the supply move up or down based on real and variable demand. These arrangements are particularly prevalent in supply agreements in the automobile industry.

Right To Repair – A Growing Trend for States Creating Compliance Challenges for Manufacturers

In 2023 and 2024, several U.S. states enacted extensive “Right to Repair” laws, reflecting a growing legislative focus on ensuring consumers have access to the parts and resources needed to repair their own products without relying on the product’s original manufacturer. Most recently, California, Colorado, Minnesota, New York, Massachusetts, and Oregon implemented comprehensive regulations aimed at providing consumers direct access to tools, parts, and information for the repair of various electronic devices and equipment, including digital products and agricultural machinery. As the “Right to Repair” movement continues to gain significant traction across the United States, it is critical that manufacturers understand these laws and how these laws will impact their individual businesses.

Supply Chain Recovery: Increasing Results While Minimizing Risk

Litigation Forecast 2024
In today’s tightly interwoven supply chains, a problem with the timely delivery or performance of components and parts provided by a supplier can have a big impact on a manufacturer, potentially causing production disruptions, reputational harm, costly recalls, and warranty claims. This is leading to more disputes over contract terms, the price and performance of parts and, in some cases, litigation. But a manufacturer need not shoulder the burden of these disputes alone. It can seek, and often achieve, the recovery of funds, all while taking care to manage its often delicate and valuable supplier relationships.

Supply Chain Recovery: Opportunities, Challenges, and Best Practices

Throughout the supply chain, companies regularly face losses related to contractual breaches, defective products or services, or late products or services. Recouping these costs and losses from other levels of supply chain provides a company’s legal department with an opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the bottom line. This CLE will focus on discussing best practices, opportunities for recovery, and current challenges companies face related to supply chain recovery. Topics will include the benefits of and impediments to establishing a recovery program, how to maintain commercial supplier relationships and avoid litigation while maintain a robust recovery practice, and recent case law developments and market trends that could impact companies’ supply contracts and opportunities for recovery.

If you are interested in attending this program, please contact Rachael Padgett, rpadgett@crowell.com.

Supply Chain Webinar Series: Torts & Product Liability Issues

A failure to meet safety compliance and regulatory obligations can undo the herculean efforts to surmount supply chain challenges and get products into the US. Our Products Liability and Regulatory Compliance lawyers will discuss the impacts of current efforts by regulators to police product safety at the ports, the expectations of federal safety regulators at the ports and how to use compliance documentation to speed the process when products have been stopped for inspection. Our discussion will cover activities at CPSC, NHTSA, EPA and FDA. The panel will also discuss the challenge of counterfeit products and parts and how safety can be a lever to stop counterfeits. Given the increased costs of shipping, downstream recovery opportunities may help alleviate some of the monetary pressures and our panel will discuss these opportunities as well as the contract clauses that can allocate risks appropriately when things do go wrong.
