Merrill v. Trump Indiana By: Liam Gallagher Contract

Case Description Merrill an addicted gambler went to a compulsive gambling clinic in Both the clinic and Merrill sent letters to the Trump Riverboat Casino demanding that if Merrill showed up at the casino that he would be evicted immediately. 2 years later Merrill ran up huge debts at the casino and resorted to robbing banks to pay for his losses. He was caught, convicted and sent to jail. Merrill decided to sue the casino for breach of contract and for allowing him to gamble his money away.

Case Key Terms Breach- Violation of duty. Negligence- Common Tort based on carelessness. Gambling- The wagering of money or an object of value on an event that has an unknown outcome with the intention of gaining money. Compulsive Gambling- The urge to continuously gamble despite the harmful consequences towards yourself and friends.

Decision The trial court discovered that no contract between the casino and Merrill existed. The request letter sent by both Merrill and the clinic he went to created no obligation on the casino to not admit him. The casino couldn’t possibly know that he would acquire such debts and use them as an excuse to rob banks.
