Question

A builder contracted to build a house for a newly married couple. Terms of the contract provided that the builder would receive the contract price when the building was fully completed. Just when the builder had completed one-half of the structure, a tornado struck the area and demolished the building.What is the builder entitled to recover from the couple under the contract?Nothing.( T/F)

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As per the contract, the builder is supposed to receive the payment once the entire building is fully completed. When a tornado struck the area and demolished the building, the contractor finds himself at square one with nothing to show for.

The law is enforced in literal terms and unless a fully constructed building stands there, the contract will not be fulfilled and he will not be paid.

Therefore the statement above is true in its form.
