[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 512460, member: 9310"] OK. "[SIZE=3]If consideration from the charitable organization is not present, the pledge will still be enforceable IF, based on the donor's promise to contribute, the organization acts in reliance on the promise to its detriment and the actions in reliance are foreseeable." (emphasis added)[/SIZE] Actually, falsification of the law by lawless courts. Most obviously recently in the creation of a bogus right to homosexual marriage. But case law in this area shows events that are similarly lawless. The elements of a binding contract are pretty clear. The problem is that even when courts recognize (as, e.g., in [I]Jewish Federation v. Barondess, 560 A.2d 1353 (N.J. Super. 1989))[/I] that there is no basis in contract law for calling pledges contracts, they nevertheless have since at least 1927 lawlessly infringed on the perogatives of legislatures in this area. But the state of law in these United States is not yet so degraded as to give United Way any hope of collecting on the OP's retracted pledge. And the OP in any case doesn't have to go to court to recover deductions made from his check after he has withdrawn the authority for them. A grievance under the "Paid-for time" provisions of the Master contract will get the job done just fine. [/QUOTE]
