Freddy, a successful entrepreneur, is thrilled to land a lucrative contract to transport flowers from a warehouse in Shepperton to a shop in Melbourne CBD. The contract involves driving around 400 km daily and offers a weekly payment of $2500. The contract is due to begin on August 1. Filled with optimism, Freddy decides to invest in a new electric vehicle (EV) for the job.

Freddy investigates various EV specifications and is particularly interested in the EZE sold by Great Car Pty Ltd in Dandenong. He visits their showroom and discusses his requirements with the manager, Jack Sparrow. Jack shows Freddy a few EVs and says that the EZE-TI model is ideal for his needs. Freddy tells him of his new delivery contract and specifies that he must have the car on or before August 1. Jack promises that he can deliver the car on or before August 1. He also says that the EZE-TI can run 420 km on a full charge and can be charged using a standard home power socket in 8 hours. Freddy is filled with hope and excitement as he signs a contract to purchase the EZE-TI for $45,000, envisioning the potential of this new vehicle for his business. He does not read the contract. The contract includes the following terms:

Clause 2: The written contract contains the entire agreement between the parties. No statements made by our representatives will have contractual effect unless included in the written contract.

Clause 15: 'Delivery Clause' - because of supply issues Great Car Pty Ltd cannot guarantee delivery of the EZE-TI by a particular date but will do its best to ensure the delivery as soon as possible. Great Car Pty Ltd accepts no liability for delays in delivery.

Clause 16: 'Ready-to-Go Clause' - Great Car Pty Ltd warrants that the EV is in every respect 'ready to go' when delivered.

Clause 18: With an 8-hour charge, the car can drive up to 350 kilometres.

The EZE-TI was delivered a week late, on August 8. Freddy's excitement turns to deep disappointment when he finds that the EV's air conditioning does not work, preventing him from starting his work. The air conditioning, crucial for transporting flowers, is a major setback. It takes Great Car Pty Ltd five days to send a mechanic and fix the problem, further delaying Freddy's ability to commence his contract.

Unfortunately, it quickly becomes clear that the EZE-TI cannot run 420 km on a full charge, managing only 350 km before needing to be recharged. This unexpected limitation forces Freddy to stop and charge the car on his way back from Shepperton at an EV charging station, significantly reducing his earnings to $2000 per week from the expected $2500.

Freddy is also unable to tender for another job over the weekend involving the delivery of flowers from a warehouse in Warrnambool, 200 km from Melbourne, because there are no EV charging stations along the route. If he had secured this tender, he would have made $25,000 in a year.

Freddy is very unhappy with his EV purchase and seeks your advice. Please advise him of any contractual remedies he may have.

2) Atlas Builders signed a contract with the City Development Authority to construct a public library in Clayton. The contract stipulates that Atlas must complete the project within 52 weeks. The general understanding is that the company will be able to work three eight-hour shifts per day, six days a week. However, four weeks after starting construction, a local residents' group obtained a court order restricting Atlas Builders from working between 9 pm and 7 am and prohibiting work on Saturdays due to excessive noise disrupting a nearby farmer's market that takes place every Saturday. As a result, Atlas Builders can no longer meet the deadline. The City Development Authority wants to sue Atlas Builders for not finishing the contract on time. Atlas Builders approach you for legal advice.

Please advise Atlas Builders of their rights under the law of contract.
