The Kruger National Park enters into an agreement with Easy Thatch in terms

which Easy Thatch will thatch the roofs of three hundred newly built bungalows.

Their contract stipulates that the bungalows must be ready before 15 September

in time for the commencement of the European holiday season which starts 1

October. Easy Thatch only finishes the work at the end of November and most of

the new thatch roofs leak when it rains. The reason why the bungalows are not

thatched by the agreed time is that Easy Thatch did not order enough grass on

time and therefore spent weeks waiting for their suppliers to deliver enough grass.

(a) State which forms of breach of contract occurred in this set of facts and

provide a reason for your answer.

(b) Discuss IN DETAIL the remedies that the Kruger National Park has at their

disposal to address Easy Thatch's breach of contract.
