Question
The plaintiff, a management consultancy firm, made an urgent contract with a computer repairs company, Paxes Ltd. to repair the plaintiff's mainframe computer. Since the plaintiff firm could not operate without the mainframe, the firm ensured that time was of the essence in the contract -stating that Paxes must complete the repairs within three working days. Due to illness of certain key staff members Paxes has not made the deadline. The plaintiff stands to lose $4,000 per day each day that the mainframe is down, and a lucrative government tender if it is not up by the end of the week. Advise the plaintiff firm.
Explanation / Answer
The plaintiff firm could sue the repair company Paxes LTD for not completing the tasks on time as time is mentioned in the contract thus forcing them to pay for the losses occurred. Secondly, they could force Paxes to hire people from other repairing companies to complete the task. Finally, they could buy another mainframe computer because losing the lucrative government contract would a big blow to the company.
