Obligations

There must be more options – if I were Gary i would ask for a re-negotiated contract.

There’s no way that she could oblige Gary to collect them from the new location. but she could cancel the contract and pay some sort of compensation to Gary.

What I’m saying there is that she has more options available to her beyond an obligation (must deliver goods) to return the goods to their original contracted location

OK

Who is ‘she’ in your last post?

But that’s ridiculous! What if Helga had moved to the other side of the World? Would Gary, in that situation, also be required to collect the goods from the new location?

One thing that I’m not sure about – is Helga a seller and Gary a buyer?

Or is Helga a seller and Gary a courier, transporting Helga’s goods to a Helga customer?

If it’s the first situation, then, ok, I can see the logic of Gary having to travel to the new location. After all, he’s the one that has agreed to collect goods from Helga’s premises. That’s vague enough for the premises to be moved.

If the conversation went as:

H “Yes, you can have the goods, but you’ll need to come to collect them yourself. We’re at *an address* in Almanistan”

G “OK, I’ll come to collect them next month”.

But meanwhile Helga changes her address and lets Gary know.

Then I can understand that Gary, who wants the goods, will need to travel to the new address.

Is it possible, I wonder, for Gary to cancel the contract? I think that that would be my reaction. It depends on whether the ‘cost him 20 more to pay the contract.’ is €20 or £20(thousand pounds)

I get the feeling, again, that you have not given me all information or, at least, not with the precise wording from the question?

OK?

Multiple questions here Krrish!

“My doubt is they have agreed in the contract that gary, the buyer, will collect goods from almanistan premise of buyer helga
Then how can she be bound to collect goods from new premise”

WHO is the buyer? ‘gary, the buyer’ or ‘premise of buyer helga’?

And then (again!) ‘WHO is SHE’? ‘Then how can she be bound to collect goods’

Krrish! I’m sorry but you appear to be making up these questions as you go along!!!!!

PLEASE, check again and give me the FULL question as it is actually printed because your various versions are not making any sense to me 🙁

Then it’s a poor question! Full stop!

I can’t make out if Gary is a courier / carrier or customer

Whatever he is, the additional cost of $20 is so immaterial that I would accept that the addition in cost created by the variation in the contract collection location is SO immaterial that Gary will have to suck it up and go ahead.

Now, serious point! PLEASE, IN FUTURE QUESTIONS, GIVE ME THE FULL QUESTION AND NOT SIMPLY AN EXTRACT!

Had you mentioned $20 and $59,487 in your original post, we could both have saved so much time in answering an insignificant question. $20 is less than 0.0336%. What is Gary balking at, for Heaven’s sake???!!!

Remember Krrish – GIVE ME THE FULL QUESTION AND THE COMPLETE RANGE OF ANSWERS

OK?

If Helga’s change of location had resulted in an increase in Gary’s costs by $XXXX where $XXXX is a substantial sum and certainly greater than .0.0336% of the contract value, then maybe the answer would be different.

But Krrish, if Gary complains about the extra $20, do you not think that Helga would say “OK, Gary, I’ll know $20 off the contract price!”

I still think that the question is unfairly vague but I also think that the variation in the contract terms is so minimal that Gary will need to collect the goods from Boumania.

Move on!
