Question

Kentucky Lumber and Millwork Company contracted to supply Rommell Company millwork for use in the construction of a school building. While the work was in progress, the Kentucky Lumber mill was destroyed by fire. For two months thereafter, Kentucky Lumber and Millwork supplied Rommell with millwork purchased from a third party. Kentucky Lumber and Millwork did not wish to continue this plan and declared that the contract was ended. Rommell brought an action against Kentucky Lumber and Millwork to enforce the contract. How will the court decide?

Explanation / Answer

Judgment will go for Rommell. The agreement was to supply millwork without respect to where or by whom it was created. This was affirmed by the direct of the gatherings, in light of the fact that for two months the millwork of an outsider had been provided. In like manner, the wood organization was not discharged from its agreement in view of the devastation of its factory.
