Thanks for introducing me to Williams v Walker-Thomas. In the ocean of Paywalled Law School Study Guide SEO, I can't find anywhere that tells the last chapter of the story. In light of Wright's decision, how did the lower court finally rule? After being given permission, did they actually follow through and throw out the contract?

It seems obscure, you’d probably have to pay for the records.

Apologies for not seeing this earlier; faced with an unfavorable ruling (and, I believe, the UCC coming into force in DC around that time, which surely couldn't have helped their position), the store dropped its attempts to repossess the furniture in question, and settled the case with a damages payment to Williams.
