Question

​Beef Burgers, Inc. contracts to buy five hundred steers from Fattening Feedlots. Before Fattening Feedlots can deliver the steers, there is an outbreak of disease in the feedlot, and all the cattle are quarantined. In this case the perfect tender rule:_______.
a. applies to both parties.
b. does not apply.
c. applies only to Beef Burgers.
d. applies only to Fattening Feedlots.

Answer 1

In this case the perfect tender rule

b. does not apply.

Explanation:

The perfect tender rule has certain exceptions where it cannot be applied to the tender parties and the probates of the tender.

If there is a government ruling against the use of certain products that are necessary for the tender to be completed and the outlaw happens after the tender is signed but before it is completed as a consignment then it cannot be done.

This would come under the ambit of an emergency where the governed ruling makes such deals null and void.
