Aaron paid a deposit and Farrelly & Co completes the work properly. Farrelly & Co invoiced Aaron for the balance but Aaron refused to pay. Unfortunately for Farrelly & Co, legislation provided that the contract was unenforceable because it was not recorded in writing.

Question 7 (275 words / 5.5 marks) Assume that, during the inspection, Bevan promised that the house was designed by Christine Cornwall and agreed to warrant as such in the contract. When Bevan sent instructions to his solicitor, he forgot to advise her to include the warranty. Hence, the signed contract did not contain the term. However, it did contain a term which declared that the signed agreement was the entire agreement between the parties and that no other collateral terms or agreements existed and, if they did, then they were voided and replaced by the signed agreement. Aaron discovers that the house was in fact designed by Dora D’Eath after Farrelly & Co assessed the quality of Everyday Builders’ work. Aaron thought that he would sue Bevan for breach of contract but, when he checked the signed contract, he was dismayed to find that it did not contain the warranty about the designer of the house. He assumed that this meant that he had no case and did not pursue it. Two years later, Aaron spoke to his friend, Gabrielle, who was a lawyer. He mentioned that he was still really annoyed because, after discovering the truth about the architect, he checked the contract and realised that Bevan’s promise was not in the special conditions. Otherwise, he would have sued for breach of contract. Gabrielle says that it is still possible to do this. Is she correct? Do not assess the damages.
