Sir, in the case of Williams V Roffey Bros , the defendands had promised to pay them money concerned that they might not be able to finish the work, However the claimants finished the work and sued them, why should they have to pay since they carpenters did the work they were supoosed to do. Nothing extra, the book says that they acoided the possible penalty
If the work had not been finished on time, Roffey Bros were going to be faced with paying penalties for late completion
Williams was notified of this so pulled the stops out to ensure the work WAS finished on time
The defence claimed that all Williams had achieved was what was in the original agreement
The Williams’ team claimed that Williams had done more in exchange for the promise of additional money – they had managed to assist Roffey in avoiding the penalties
Williams won
