The Decision of the Court in Cutter V Powell (1795)101

A) The contract was divisible and the widow could recover the proportion of the contract amount equal to the number of days that Cutter had completed before he died.
B) The contract was entire and hence the widow could recover nothing.
C) Cutter's death terminated the contract and the contract was therefore void.
D) The widow of the deceased was entitled to payment based on a quantum meruit.
