question 2a

QUESTION TWO Horatio, a garage owner, entered into separate contracts with: a) Mogul Oil Co who agreed to supply Horatio with 5,000 liters of Mogul Extra gasoline at $1.00 per liter. b) Jerry Builders Ltd who agreed to construct a large repair shop with extensive servicing facilities for Horatio. A month before the delivery date of the gasoline Mogul informed Horatio that they would not be able to supply the gasoline due to a threatened conflict in the Middle East. Horatio could have placed an order with another firm and have obtained petrol at $1.25 a liter. Instead he insisted on Mogul fulfilling their obligation, and when they failed to do he had to buy gasoline from another source at $1.50 a liter. Due to defective workmanship the roof of the repair shop built by Jerry Builders Ltd collapsed damaging a customer's car, and prevented Horatio from fulfilling a highly lucrative servicing contract on a fleet of trucks. Advise Horatio as to what damages, if any, for breach of contract he can recover from Mogul Oil Co and from Jerry Builders Ltd.
