Contract Law

Raymond has a successful take-away shop that specialises in roasting free-range chicken. Customers come from far and wide to buy his free range roasted chicken and chip combination. Peter is Raymond's supplier of fresh chicken. The contract of supply between the parties' states that only freerange chicken is to be supplied to Raymond. On Tuesday morning, Raymond receives a delivery from Peter, but the packaging indicates that the chicken is not free range. Raymond telephones Peter and tells him that he will not pay for the delivery since it is not what he ordered. Peter replies that he has supplied chicken and that Raymond has no right to withhold payment.
