Signature Page Mixing-and-Matching Leads to Trouble in Delaware Case
D.C. Toedt III, writing in the On Contracts blog, describes how parties to a contract often circulate just signature pages to be signed, and the problems that can arise with that practice.
He also explains the importance of making sure that the signed version is identified (e.g., with a running header).
He analyzes a lawsuit that involved a former vice president of a company who sued to compel the company to give her the equity that she claimed was due to her under the “signed” agreement. But the parties, after sending revised drafts back and forth, had apparently signed signature pages for different versions of the agreement.
