Birger v. Tuner
The court case Birger v. Tuner was based off the loaning of money from Birger to Tuner. The Birger family claimed that the Tuner family owed them a remaining amount of $, 6,800 (of $ 8,500 Rubles). The courts view contracts as illegal if they were signed in another country. In this court case, the contract was made in the Soviet Union. The Turners had to borrow money because their daughter had to repay losses made at work and would face consequences if she did not repay. In the agreement between the family, the Birger family loaded the Turner family 8,500 Rubles; however, the Soviet Union has a rule that if a contract involves more than 500 Rubles it must be notarized. When the parties sign the contract, there was no witnesses
