Chapter 14 - Breach of Contract and Remedies, Page 260, Case 3

Trebic was a skilled cabinetmaker of European ancestry. Moldeva, who had emigrated to Canada from the same country, requested him to build a set of kitchen cupboards “in the old-country style.” The two men discussed the general appearance desired, then Trebic drew up a list of materials that he required to construct the cupboards. Moldeva obtained the necessary lumber and supplies for Trebic, then took his family on a vacation. On his return, Moldeva found the work completed, and admired the craftsmanship and design that Trebic had exhibited in the making of the cabinets. Trebic had carefully carved the “old-country designs” on the trim boards. He had skillfully constructed the drawers and cabinets using wooden dowels, rather than nails, again in accordance with “old-country” tradition. In the execution of this skill he had used only hand tools, and then only the tools used by “old-country” craftsmen in the cabinet-making trade. In every detail, the cabinets were “old-country style.” When Moldeva indicated that he was completely satisfied with the cabinets, Trebic submitted his account in the amount of $4,800. The sum represented 120 hours work at $40 per hour, the normal rate charged by skilled cabinetmakers in the area. Moldeva, who was a building contractor himself, objected to the amount of Trebic’s account. He stated that carpenters in his shop could manufacture kitchen cabinets of the general size and shape of those made by Trebic in only a few days’ time. He offered Trebic $800 as payment in full. Trebic refused to accept the $800 offer and brought an action against Moldeva on the $4,800 account. Discuss the possible arguments of the parties. Render a decision.

Case – Recreational Park Project

The public has recognized the benefits of recreation and parks as essential to their health and quality of life. A recent survey conducted in 2016 found that the construction of more recreational facilities was a top priority among residents in Lazarette Town (in the Caribbean).

As such, the town council in Lazarette, with the help of other key stakeholders, has sourced and secured three (3) million dollars of grant funds from the Caribbean Wellness Community (CWC) for the development of a mini outdoor recreational park on three (3) acres of land donated by a benevolent resident of the town.

The park will contain sporting facilities among other recreational facilities (e.g. walking trails, children playground, tennis court, basketball court, work out stations, benches, shower facilities, rest rooms etc.). All major key stakeholders and sponsors have unanimously agreed that that the facility should cater for residents of all ages. Additionally, a group of minority stakeholders has expressed their requirements of having an eco-friendly and climate resilient facility. The park should be completed and ready for use by 2022, i.e. the project duration should not exceed two years.

To ensure that the project is completed on time, within scope and on budget, the funding agency and the Lazarette Town Council require that a dedicated and knowledgeable project team is assigned to the project. CWC has expressed the need for the project deliverables to be of ‘high’ quality to guarantee stakeholders’ satisfaction and safety. The CWC requires that ‘tight’ procurement processes should be followed to ensure transparency, accountability and economy. It is anticipated that most of the goods, works and services for building the park will be procured from vendors, suppliers and contractors in the town. In addition, CWC has detailed the need for both positive and negative projects risk to be properly managed throughout the project.

In response to CWC implied and expressed requirements, the Lazarette Town Council has selected and appointed your team to provide project management services for the Recreational Park Project. As a proactive team, your team has decided to use ‘best practices’ in project management to plan project activities and get approval from key project stakeholders before constructing or building the facility. Give the type and nature of the project, the intention is to use a traditional/waterfall approach to project management activities instead of the largely popular and contemporary agile methodology used other industries.

Your team understands the value of planning before doing, and the council’s concerns of not losing the grant funding from CWC. In addition, your team is keen on building a good reputation in the

town. With a can do attitude and the need to increase the chances of the project success, the project management team (your 5-member group) is determined to ensure that the team utilizes the ‘best practices’ for planning, executing and controlling this valuable community based project.

CONTEMPORARY CANADIAN BUSINESS LAW : Chapter 14, Page 260, Case 4

Awwad, a skilled carpenter, agreed to construct a garage for Henderson for a contract price of $3,000. Henderson was to supply the plans, foundation, and materials. Awwad constructed the garage according to the plans. When the building had been framed, he discovered that the siding boards that Henderson had purchased were of poor-grade lumber. The boards could only be made to fit with a great deal of hand labour and cutting. Awwad complained to Henderson and demanded that he provide siding boards that were of “construction-grade” lumber. Henderson refused to do so. An argument followed in which Awwad refused to complete the work until Henderson provided suitable materials. At the time of the argument, the foundation, the roof, and the walls had been erected. The work that remained included the installation of the wall siding, the doors and windows, and the trim. Discuss the rights of the parties and the nature of the claims and defences of each. Indicate the possible outcome, if the case should come before the courts.

The Acme Company, which frequently acted as agents for sea food processors and buyers, was contacted by the Gourmet Fish Company to find a supply of a particular fish for its new product line. Under the terms of the agreement, the Acme Company was entitled to a flat commission rate based upon the quantity of fish purchased. The Acme Company contacted several fish-processing plants and arranged for each to supply a quantity of the fish species required by the Gourmet Fish Company. In each case, the Acme Company charged the processing plant a $3,000 fee for arranging the supply contract. In due course, the fish were delivered to Gourmet Fish Company, and the agreed-upon commission was paid to the Acme Company, based upon the quantity of fish supplied. Sometime later, when the Gourmet Fish Company discovered that the Acme Company also charged a fee to the processing plant for arranging the supply contracts, it took legal action against the Acme Company. Discuss the nature of the claim that would be made by the Gourmet Fish Company and the defences, if any, of the Acme Company. Render a decision.

Most business communication professionals do not feel that email is a good way of communicating when the sender has to convey a bad news and it is much better to have a face to face or telephonic conversation in such cases. But, sometimes it is not feasible to have meetings or conversations because of the large number of people involved, unavailability of all the parties, validity and proof of the conversation and geographical distance between the participants.
