  • A merchant delivers all ordered goods strictly according to the quality, quantity, and timeframe specified in the contract terms.Discharge by performance

Cevap

The cargo shipping contract hindered by government action matches 'Discharge by frustration'. The intentional false statements regarding commercial property match 'Vitiation by fraudulent misrepresentation'. The mutual lack of knowledge of the destroyed truck matches 'Vitiation by common mistake (res extincta)'. The full delivery of goods per agreement matches 'Discharge by performance'.
The correct pairings accurately categorize each scenario according to principles of contract law: government prohibitions creating physical/legal impossibility lead to discharge by frustration; intentional false inducements constitute fraudulent misrepresentation; non-existence of subject matter prior to agreement creates a common mistake (res extincta); and full compliance with terms constitutes discharge by performance.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the unexpected government seaport closure scenario.
Identified supervening impossibility of performance beyond the control of either party.
An unforeseeable statutory prohibition makes performance impossible, which operates legally as discharge by frustration.
2
Analyze the property seller's intentional falsehoods.
Identified intentional deceit inducing a contract.
A knowingly false representation of fact made with intent to induce reliance constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation, making the contract voidable.
3
Analyze the contract for the destroyed truck.
Identified non-existence of subject matter unknown to both parties at contract formation.
When the subject matter has ceased to exist before contract formation without the knowledge of either party, it is a common mistake (res extincta).
4
Analyze the exact delivery of ordered goods.
Identified exact and complete compliance with contractual terms.
Meeting all obligation requirements completely and precisely satisfies the standard for discharge by performance.
