c.enforced only to the extent of requiring the farmer to find alternative suppliers to satisfy his or her contractual obligations.
d.none of the above.
Explanation / Answer
B. enforced only to the extent of requiring the farmer to find alternative suppliers to satisfy his or her contractual obligations.
Reason :
Unless a clause regarding the adverse weather is in the contract, the contract is enforceable. In this case, there being no such clause ,the farmer's contractual obligations will be enforced.
Since there exists no way to calculate the damages for the aggrieved party, nor can we calculate compensation in this case. The only remedy exists is specific performance Under specific performance the defaulting party is asked to discharge his/her obligations by court. Like in option C the farmer may find any supplier to discharge his obligations.
