Question 8

 

 

 

For which of the following statements does the case of Holland & another v Wiltshire (1954) 90 CLR 409 provide authority?

(b)  Late performance of a contract entitles the non-defaulting party to terminate performance of the contract provided it can be inferred by the court that the time of performance was a condition of the contract.

(c)   Late performance always entitles the non-defaulting party to terminate performance, because the time of performance is always treated by the courts as a condition of the contract.
