Best Answer

The case was based on a corrupt land sale. John Peck bought the land originally and later sold some to Robert Fletcher with Peck having full knowledge that the sale of the land would be void under the current (1795) Georgia Law. This law was void and illegal based on the Contract Clause in the constitution that prevents any state from making and passing laws that would impair the obligations of contracts. The courts ruling was in Fletcher favor as the law was deemed unconstitutional
