Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ms. Lewis is a Canadian resident and has been carrying on her business only in Canada, so she is not an enemy alien. Therefore, option iii is correct. The contract with Basic Chemicals is a private contract between two Canadian entities, and the outbreak of war does not automatically make it void. So option v is also correct. However, the Crown may grant Ms. Lewis the right to continue her business if it is in the public interest, and the contract may not be entirely unaffected by the outbreak of war - there may be implications for the supply chain or shipping, for example. Therefore, options iv could be correct to some extent. Option i is incorrect because Ms. Lewis is not an enemy alien. Option ii is incorrect because the contract is not automatically void just because of the outbreak of war.
