Held
The problem is based on frustration of contract.
Destruction of the lorry frustrated the contract between Maxwell and Abdirazak.
Neither of them was blameworthy.
However, the deposit of sh.300,000 paid by Abdirazak is recoverable.
No cause of action for there was no breach of contract.
My advice is based on the provisions of the Law Reforms(frustrated contracts) Act 1943.
Under the Act,when a contract is frustrated,any money paid is recoverable and money payable ceases to be payable.
