Introduction

In January, in preparation for her decree absolute celebrations in May, Sandra agreed to hire Mr Jordan's vinrage, white limousine to transport her to the hotel, where her friends were throwing a party for her. Her friends had engaged Mr Drake to take the photographs of the whole evening and a friend, Lindsey was lined up to do the catering. She explained to Mr Jordan that she was rather short of money at that moment in time but that she would pay in full in the period of one month.

He told him that he would only sell the car to him at the agreed low sale price if he ensured that it was available for Sandra's celebration evening.

Sandra made an agreement with Mr Jordan, which he respected and informed that Mr Martin agreed on providing the services on his behalf, as he sold his car in low price because of it. The second scenario that emerges in this case is related to an agreement with Mr Drake. He has been hired to take the photographs, although he failed to complete the agreed terms of taking photographs. The third scenario which is more devastating for the party is catering by Lindsey, which leads to sickness of majority of the party attendant. However, the following discussion will focus more on what specific clause is applicable and what defence they have for them (Stuyck & Schulze, 2011).
