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

The case was important because it was the first time the US Supreme Court found a state law unconstitutional. This case was in 1810.
In the 1810 decision of the Marshall Court, Fletcher v. Peck, the Supreme Court ruled that a state law was unconstitutional. This established the Supreme Court's right to act in matters that concerned one state alone, and not one state versus another state or states.
The case Marbury vs. Madison in 1803 made this possible with the establishment of judicial review by Chief Justice John Marshall.

Baker won the case.
It was that a law that negates all property rights established under an earlier law is unconstitutional by grounds of Article I, Section 10 in the Constitution which basically says "No law shall... pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts."
