Allen v. Taku Safari Inc.
[2003] B.C.J. No. 754, [2003] BCSC 516, 122 A.C.W.S (3d) 250, Victoria Registry No. 01 5499

Facts:
Andre Allen (plaintiff) entered a contract with Taku Safari Inc. (defendant) in which Taku agreed to provide a guided hunt. Allen was required to travel to Juneau where Taku would provide a connecting flight directly to the hunt site, Inklin. Allen initially paid a deposit but was unable to participate in the hunt due to his flight being cancelled. Taku advised that they would try to accommodate Allen, even two day later, but could not guarantee the connecting flight. Allen cancelled his flight from Michigan to Juneau, but was later told of another client who arrived in Juneau, and flown to Inklin that same day. This same …show more content…

The unanticipated events did not make the performance impossible, but rather potentially delayed it to a later date.

Reasons For Judgment:
In Folia v. Relenski (1997), 14 R.P.R. (3d) 5 (B.C.S.C)., the test for frustration is states:

“…The Disruption must be permanent, not temporary or transient. The change must totally affect the nature, meaning, purpose, effect and consequence of the contract so far as concerns either or both parties.”

There is no indication that the unanticipated circumstances changed the nature of the contract or made it impossible to perform, and therefore frustrated. There was nothing explicitly stated within the contract that required a timely flight either. The fact that the plaintiff was going to be delayed by two days would not have changed the terms of the agreement. The plaintiff could have still travelled to Juneau, connect on the next available flight, and still attend a six-day hunt which he was originally contracted for.

Held:
Action is dismissed with costs on scale

Rachael Martinelli Case Study 8-2: The Outsourced Work 1. Is BE bound by the terms of the project labor agreement, which it did not directly sign, including the duty to submit this labor dispute to final and binding arbitration for resolution? I believe that Bolton Engineering (BE) should not always be bound to the terms of the project labor agreement, that they did not directly sign. Bolton Engineering should only be bound to these conditions if they are working onsite. They did not directly sign the with the labor union so they should only have to follow the labor union when they are working on the premises of Rocket Motor Corporation.

This could have been avoided with the help of a souring intermediary agent. I would recommend they do what is necessary of them now with threats of lawsuits being thrown around. I would look for a souring agent to work out this complication before it escalades, seeing if both companies can’t compromise and work together, and achieve both of their goals. As for the current delay of lumber I would contact the local supplier Smoking Lumber to negotiate a deal for a split amount of the total amount need until complication with Pearl Trade Co. are worked out, and
