Question

Delaney is a locally famous cabinet maker with a contract to build cabinets for the new Designer Fashions headquarters. However, Delaney injures his wrist and cannot work. Designer Fashions hears about the injury and realizes that Delaney will not be able to finish the contract in the scheduled time. At common law, Designer Fashions can ______

Answer 1

Answer: At common law, Designer fashion can either sue or wait for Delaney's wrist to get healed.

Explanation: Common laws are sets of unwritten laws established by judges or courts. These laws are not backed by the legislative. One can say they are "common sense".

In this case, Common sense will say that designer fashion has a right to sue or wait since it's a contractual agreement.

If I was to advise designer fashion, I'd say they wait as the injury is an unforeseen circumstance.
