Whereas the only party to the contract at issue for the purposes of this case is BobTHJ and BobTHJ has acted entirely as desired by the contract at issue, there is no imbalance that BobTHJ could correct. The purpose of the equation contract is to demand the actions of the parties fulfill the intent of the contract, not to seriously involve external actors which BobTHJ's desired solution would necessarily do. Also, there should be a strong presumption that excersizing R101 rights is equitable in order to avoid abridging those rights in an equity judgment. Therefore, I find that even if we consider the actions of non-parties to the contract, the situation is already equitable as a whole (even if it is not as envisioned by the original contract). Therefore, I judge: "". -woggle
