Which of the following cases is about performance of contract?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Great Northern Railway Co. v. Harrison ((1852) 12 C.B. 576) is a leading authority on the performance of contracts and reciprocal obligations in the supply of goods (concerning a contract to supply timber railway sleepers as required by the company's engineers, and the buyer's corresponding obligation and readiness and willingness to accept delivery, relevant to Sections 37 and 51 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 and Chapter IV of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930). By contrast, Maruti Udyog Ltd. v. Susheel Kumar Gabgotra ((2006) 4 SCC 644) and Behn v. Burness ((1863) 3 B. & S. 751) deal with conditions and warranties (Section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930), while Joyce v. Swann ((1864) 17 C.B. (N.S.) 84) concerns the passing of property and reservation of the right of disposal (Section 25 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930).
