I'm watching a backlog of Craig Ferguson episodes and trying to decide what to cook today. My bonus and small raise showed up in my paycheck yesterday, so I'm going to indulge in retail therapy. Maybe later I'll do some yoga and watch Whip It as I have it from Netflix.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

So I got this vacuum: [link]
Holy cathair, batman! FINALLY. I don't like that it empties like a dyson, but it was the only one that had everything I was looking for. I'll get used to it.
Man, the amount of cathair that came up. Old vacuum was REALLY falling down on the job, and not just literally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So I'm watching a movie to go unnamed in case I spoil anyone for a clumsy comedy from 2003 that has weird parallels to a current Oscar nominee.
Can you nullify a contract by physically tearing it up? I mean, doesn't that make it ridiculously easy for one party to renege?

Can you nullify a contract by physically tearing it up?
If it's the only copy?
Though everybody scans legal documents to PDF nowadays so that's a tougher trick to pull.

For reals? Tearing it in two nullifies it? That seems like a really simple out, if whatever you were intending to get from it is acted upon ASAP.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't know if destroying the only copy of a contract makes it null, I think it just makes the agreement undocumented and unenforceable.

Tearing it in two counts as destroying?

Oh, if you just tear it in two you're probably still screwed. As long as it can be reconstructed.

I suppose if the contract has the condition that either party can withdraw from the agreement one of the parties ripping up the contract would be a dramatic means of withdrawl.
