TRAYNOR (DRENNAN) VERSUS HAND (BAIRD):MUCH ADO ABOUT (ALMOST) NOTHING

---

ABSTRACT
Most Contracts casebooks feature either Baird v. Gimbel or Drennan v. Star Paving to
illustrate the limits on revocability of an offer. In this article an analysis of the case law
yields three major conclusions. First, as is generally known, in the contractor–subcontractor
cases Drennan has prevailed. However, both it and its spawn, Restatement 2d
87(2), have had almost no impact outside that narrow area. Moreover, almost all the
cases involve public construction projects—private projects account for only about ten
percent of the cases. This suggests that private parties have managed to resolve the
problem contractually. Public contract law is encrusted with regulations, which courts
and contracts scholars have ignored. The result is a peculiar phenomenon—a supposedly
general contract doctrine that applies only in a specific context, but which ignores the
features of that context.
