Bloomfield School District | 246 Cal.App.2d 123 (1966) Parties negotiating contracts often find themselves on unequal footing. A stranded motorist may have much less bargaining power with a mechanic than a customer who drives to a garage and negotiates for engine service. But at what point do unequal bargaining positions create sufficient undue influence to render a deal invalid? The California Court of Appeals considered that question in the 1966 case of Odorizzi versus Bloomfield School District. Donald Odorizzi was an elementary school teacher working for the Bloomfield School District. In June 1964, police arrested Odorizzi on suspicion of engaging in homosexual activity, back when that was considered a crime. Odorizzi claimed that his arrest, police questioning, and release caused him a great amount of stress and had kept him awake for 40 hours without sleep. After he was released on bail, he went home, where his principal and district superintendent immediately came to see him. Odorizzi claimed that while he was stressed and sleep deprived, the principal and superintendent strongly suggested he resign his teaching position immediately. If he didn’t, they threatened that the school district would dismiss him from his teaching job and publicize the proceedings, causing him embarrassment and humiliation. They also asserted there was no time for Odorizzi to consult an attorney. Faced with such pressure, and unable to fully consider or understand the consequences, Odorizzi complied and signed the resignation form. The criminal charges against Odorizzi were later dismissed, and he sought his job back. When the school district refused to reinstate him, he sued seeking to rescind his resignation. He alleged that his resignation had been obtained through undue influence, at a time when, due to stress and lack of sleep, he lacked the capacity to enter into a valid contract. The trial court dismissed Odorizzi’s complaint, and he appealed to the California Court of Appeals. Want more details on this case?
