A) S will succeed as strike by his workers was unexpected and beyond his control
B) S can succeed as there is an escalation clause in the contract
C) S cannot succeed as he has failed to complete the construction work in time and strike cannot be treated as a valid excuse for delay in work
D) S can succeed, if he pays penalty to P for delay
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Ans. In this case, S will not succeed because there was an express condition in the contract that if the construction of the house is not completed within the period prescribed for it, then he will be liable to pay penalty to P. In this case, according to the principle, one who goes to the court of law to seek justice, must come with clean hands, however here S himself is at fault because he could not construct the house within given time frame, so he will not succeed.You need to login to perform this action.
