Accord and Satisfaction. E.S. Herrick Co. grows and sells blueberries. Maine Wild Blueberry Co. agreed to buy all of Herrick's 1990 crop under a contract that left the price unliquidated. Herrick delivered the berries, but a dispute arose over the price. Maine Wild sent Herrick a check with a letter stating that the check was the "final settlement." Herrick cashed the check but filed a suit in a Maine state court against Maine Wild, on the ground of breach of contract, alleging that the buyer owed more. What will the court likely decide in this case Why [ E.S. Herrick Co. v. Maine Wild Blueberry Co., 670 A.2d 944 (Me. 1996)]
