United States Seventh Circuit
A.T.N., Inc. v. McAirlaid-s Vliesstoffe GmbH & Co. KG, 08-2727
In a breach of contract action, district court's grant of defendant's motion for summary judgment is affirmed where the contract is unenforceable as the agreement between plaintiff and defendant was of indefinite duration and not bound by a specific event, and thus terminable at will. Accordingly the defendants could cease supplying ATN without running afoul of the agreement.
