Things went as planned for July and August. However, Gill was unable to meet the requirements of the contract for the first two weeks of September because his boats simply did not catch that much, although other companies did better and other fish was available for Gill to purchase, but at a higher price than what Blanchet was paying him. Rather than sell at a loss, Gill simply did not supply during the two-week period. At the end of that period, the Federal Fisheries Department shut down the fishery altogether because of the depletion of fish. After that, no more fresh salmon was available at all. Blanchet sued Gill for breach of contract with respect to his failure to deliver any fresh salmon in September. Which one of the following statements accurately sets out the legal situation here? A) Gill was under a strict obligation to supply the fish and no excuses for failure are allowed. B) The contract was frustrated for the whole month of September by Gill's inability to obtain fish in the way that he intended, and thus he is not liable at all. C) By not suing Gill as soon as he failed to deliver in the first two weeks of September, Blanchet lost the right to complain, and then the subsequent governmental closure excused his failure to deliver any fish in September. D) Gill is liable for breach of contract with respect to the first two weeks of September, but the second two weeks' failure was caused by frustration for which he was not responsible.

11) Mikael recently started a home-based business selling custom fishing lures. He decided that he could make a lot more money selling his homemade lures on the Internet. Mikael is not the least bit technologically-inclined, but he knows that his next-door neighbour, Perm, does web design on the side. He decides to hire her to create a website for his new venture. Perm has him sign an agreement that includes an exemption clause that limits her liability in cases of negligence. In the course of designing the website, Perm becomes annoyed at Mikael because his dog keeps digging up her rose bushes. Rather than confront Mikael directly, Perm deliberately puts the wrong pricing information on Mikael's website to get him back. If Mikael suffers damages as a result and wants to sue Perm, what would the likely result be? A) The exemption clause would protect Perm because of the principle of "freedom to contract." B) The exemption clause would be severed as being an illegal restraint of trade. C) Perm's actions were outside the scope of the contract, so Mikael would have no claim in law.

However, the day before Smedlap was to pick up the pumpkins, he called Dewdney and told him that, since he had received such a good offer to sell his truck, he had sold it and therefore was not able to haul Dewdney's pumpkins. There was not enough time for Smedlap to buy another truck, but he was sure that Dewdney could make other arrangements and he hoped that he hadn't unduly inconvenienced him. Unfortunately, Dewdney was not able to make arrangements in time for the Halloween market, and instead he had to sell his crop to a pie-filling canner for much less than he could reasonably have expected at the market. Furthermore, the market owners were so disappointed by Dewdney's failure to deliver that they refused to give him their usual order for Christmas turkeys. In previous years, this turkey order had generated his major income for the year. He was forced to find another outlet for his turkeys, and again he ended up selling to commercial processors for a substantially lower price. As a result of these two events, Dewdney was unable to keep up his mortgage payments on the farm and eventually he lost it to the bank in a foreclosure action. Dewdney is now suing Smedlap to recover these losses. Identify the correct statement with respect to the question of whether Smedlap's conduct was a breach of contract. A) Smedlap simply cancelled the contract, which he was entitled to do as long as it was before performance was due. B) This was not a breach because Smedlap did not do it maliciously, and he gave Dewdney what he honestly believed was adequate notice to make other arrangements. C) The contract was discharged by frustration. D) Smedlap is not liable because it was not his fault that Dewdney was unable to make other suitable arrangements. E) This was a breach that consisted of self-induced frustration.
