FULFILLING THE CONTRACT
Not infrequently
in his anxiety
one will nree
to close a bargain
to
furnish an a reticle or perform
services to the satisfaction of the
other party. Your watch Is out of
order; you take it to a watch-maker,
y.t hc4tate tihout leaving It for
him to repair. Me agrees to ll it to
your satisfaction. You wish o pur-
base a nilvr dish of a jeweler.
but you desire a monogram rirtced
upon It, and you doubt thn rc pos
sesses the artistic ability and Rootl
t.ute to do the work so thai It
will plcae you. lie assurs you
that he can and will please you
and that if he loes nU. perform
the task to your Miit is Paction you
need not take the dish. ion give,
him an order under these condi
tions.
You w'ikIi to have your roof fixed.
and, driving a clone bargain, insist
that the carpenter agree thut he
will perform the task to your satis
faction, else he need not be paid.
You go to your tailor to plate an
order for a suit. In hi anxiety to
secure the order, which you seem
somewhat loathe to give, lie assures
ou that he will make you a suit
that will satisfy you and that it he
does not, you need not take it.
In each of these caeca you have
entered into a contract with the
tradesman or workman, calling for
he performance of certain labor and
he furnishing cf materials or the
sale of an article. Now, suppose
that In each of these eases, the
work specified Is performed in a
fair and workmanlike manner, with
reasonable .skill. Yet, suppose you
have changed your mind in every
case and no longer desire the arti
cle or work that was done, or you
feel that the work does not quite
please you. Therefore, you Insist
that they do it and if they do not
you may refuse to accept the work
which they have performed for you.
They insist that the work is well
done and that you ought to be sat
isfied. Y'our contention Is that no
one but yourself can say wneuier
you are satisfied or notandtbat If
you say you are not that -settles
dt.
Suppose that the watchmaker ,
the Jeweler, the carpenter and
the tailor all sue you, insisting
that they have performed their
portion of the contract and that
you must make the payment agreei
Are you entitled to insist upon the
latter of the contract and enforce
your own work as to whether you
are satisfied or not, regardless of
whether a reasonable man would
say that you ougtit to tie sansneu;
The answer i-s that In some cases
you an and in some cases you can
not. The : 'hmaker and the carpen-
er could lorce you 10 accept imir
work and make the agreed payment:
.hfe jeweler and the tailor would
probably bo forced to arvept your
dc.ei.sicn that you were n:. sa istieri,
and make such other disposition as
they could cf the disli engraved with
your monogram and the suit cut to
your measure, v.-ithout receiving any
pay whatever from you. 1 lie dis
tinction whU-.li the law draws be
tween these caies is the diistl net ion
between wrk requiring a niec hanieal
execution and a meeha-nkal excel
lence and work desigiKMl to fit vary-
In? personal taste, aa work of an ar
tistic natur". If a brt'.-k ro.indut on
U to be builit for your new shed, fnd
is to be completed to yDiir sr.itif-fnc-
tion, and it is completed- :.i a Juti-
siantial and workmanlike manner,
and a jury of ordinary mm dec He
thar a reasonable man would be sa -
lf;d, thin the law wjll Insist that
you ouglit to tie saLi'siifii wneiner
you say that you are or not. So
it is, also, wi.h the repaid ns or tne
wat;h and the repairing of the roof.
These are mecbanU-a.1 acts, and H
the Jury finds the work wdll and
properly done, and believe in view
cf all the clrmm'Staiice that a reas
onable person would be satisfied,
you vill be conrpelled to accept the
work, desbite the fa"t that tne
agreement required that It should
be done to your personal satisfac
tion. Hut a suit of clothes and a
monogram upon a s'Jlver dis-h are
matters involving personal taste
rather than mechanical exc-ellfnce.
If these articles do not conform to
your personal tastes you do net
want them, and no one can decide
that you ought to want them, for
It is prove. bil that there Is no ac
counting for tastes.
It Is a general rule that a contract
must be performed -literally. .Ne th
er party can ci-aini u nave periorm-
ed the contract until! he has done
Just exactly what the contract re
quires in all of its terms. The work
or material to be furnished, or the
money to be paid, must be supplied
in the exact quantity and quality
specified at the place and time iec-
ified.
Yet thfc rule, like all other, has
exceptions; one of which we have
noticed above. Itf certain classes
of cafes the laws Inclined to al
low substantial compliance with the
terms of a contract hm amounting
to performance. Vhe a matter in
volving many details is generally
completed as specified, yet fails In
details of minor importance, the law
retards this as substantial perform
ance and require that the other
party fulfill his part, though an al
lowance is made him to cover the
Items in which the work was not
as specified. Thus, if a house Is
being built for you under contract,
lie contraet in all the large de
and is completer! in accordance- with
tails, but varies in a few lesser
places, you cannot refuse altogeth
er to accept the house, in case he
sues you on the contract, but an al
lowance will be made amply suffi -ient
to cover the cost of making the
defective parts conform to the spec
ifkeations.
What Is known a impossibility of
performance is btated as one of the
leal ex'-use for failure to perform
a contract. This Is very likely to
confute the average person, as most
of the things which we would view
as "impowcibllitles" are not such
"ini possibilities" as will. In law. ex
cuse the failure to fulfill a contract.
The impossibility which will put an
end to a contract must ! of a rt
that the parties can be deemed to
have contemplated as an adequate
excuse, should It chance to ocur.
Hardship or unforeeen difficulty, no
matter how severe, will not excuse
failure to perform according to the
terms of the greenient. If a man
agrees to paint your house" in two
days. It ils no excuse that he finJs
It impossible to rinlsli the house In
two days, no matter how hard he
works. Neither Is It an excuse that
his mat rials- are stolen or dwtroy
ed and so he cannot pwcecd. Nor
1 It an excuse that his workmen
strike, unless that Is prvlded attains",
in the contract. Hut l.f thiT house1
should be burned, that would amount
to a destruction of the wubjet tnat
tr of the contract, which Is such an
Impossibility Jta will furn!.sh legal
excuse for failure to perform.
If one contracts to furnish his
own personal nervine (not to do
something that anyone may do) and
dk-s, or is seriously injured or falls
ill, no damage- for failure :o per
form his contract may be recovered
aga'iist h'a estate, or ngnlnst him,
since this is such an imposiihii'..!ty
as furnishes legal excuse.
When cue has complr'cd his side
of the eontra t, and not until then,
may he bring legal action to force
the other lwrty to do bin part. An
exception to this Is where' tlia other
parly has definitely broken the con
tract In advance by word or action,
as by a definite statement that he
did not Intend to fulfill the contract.
A person who has contract eel to de
liver goods must have the gooiN
i specified at the time and place re
quired. I hen. If the other party re
fuses to accept them a breach has
occurred wluich gives to hlm a lege!
right of action. If the agreement Is
to sell for cash he need only tender
delivery, and if the other party haw
not the ea?li to fulfill his part of the
agreement there has been a broach
of the contract.
