A promises to deliver goods at B's warehouse on 1 January. On that day A brings the goods to B's warehouse, but after the usual hour for closing it, and they are not received. What is the legal position?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Illustration to section 47: "A has not performed his promise." Where a promise is to be performed on a certain day without application by the promisee, the promisor may perform "at any time during the usual hours of business on such day" and at the proper place. Arriving after closing time falls outside business hours, so B's refusal to receive the goods is not a breach.
