District Court, D. New Jersey June 12, 2002, CIVIL ACTION NO. 01-2059 (Koch Materials Co. v. Shore Slurry Seal, Inc.)

OPINION

ORLOFSKY, District Judge.

I. INTRODUCTION

A good relationship is built on good communication. As this case proves, that aphorism is no less true of long-term business dealings than it is of marriages. One of the Defendants, Shore Slurry Seal, Inc. (“Shore”), a construction company, entered into a long-term exclusive requirements contract with the Plaintiff, Koch Materials Company (“Koch”).
