Match each commercial contract scenario described in Column I with its corresponding legal concept, mode of discharge, or legal remedy in Column II.
- An agreement to supply agricultural produce becomes impossible to perform after contract formation due to a sudden statutory export prohibition passed by the government.Discharge by frustration due to supervening illegality
- A seller genuinely believes and states that a commercial vehicle's engine is newly overhauled, inducing a buyer to purchase it, though it later turns out to be false without intent to deceive.Innocent misrepresentation rendering the contract voidable
- A structural engineer completes 70% of a design project before the client wrongfully repudiates the contract, prompting the engineer to seek recovery for the work already rendered.Remedy of quantum meruit for work performed
- A property vendor refuses to convey title to a unique parcel of commercial land after receiving full payment, where financial compensation is demonstrably inadequate.Equitable remedy of specific performance
Cevap
The scenarios correctly match as follows: the statutory export prohibition constitutes discharge by frustration due to supervening illegality; the honest but false representation of vehicle condition is innocent misrepresentation rendering the contract voidable; the partial project claim following wrongful repudiation is a remedy of quantum meruit; and the refusal to transfer unique real estate where damages are inadequate warrants specific performance.
Each legal situation aligns with established common law contract principles: supervening statutory prohibition causes discharge by frustration; false statements made without fraud constitute innocent misrepresentation; recovery for partial work executed before wrongful repudiation is sought via quantum meruit; and specific performance is decreed for land contracts due to the unique nature of real property.
