Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A standard of strict or complete performance is applied to Pat's performance.If Pat does not finish the job by October 1,2016,his breach will have several consequences.First,since the condition precedent to Gayle's duty to pay has not occurred,Gayle does not have a duty to pay the contract price.Second,since it is now too late for the condition to occur,Pat is discharged.Third,Gayle can sue Pat for breach of contract.The law's commitment to freedom of contract justifies such results in cases in which the parties have expressly bargained for strict compliance with the terms of the contract.
