This problem is based on frustration of contract.
In this case it is apparent that Mpenda Raha had hired a room in a hotel to enable him view
the Queens procession but could not do so due to the huge crowds.
It is obvious that Mpenda has no one else to blame but himself.
The contract is not frustrated and he cannot seek a refund of the amount paid.
This was a contract based on the happening of a particular event which took place as
scheduled. Mpenda Raha's rights have not been violated.
