QUESTION 1

Goagoses has been retained by Hamutenya Manufacturing Company as an agent to


transport its merchandise to remote areas of the country. The commodities to be
transferred included tomatoes (perishables). On his way to deliver, the vehicle without
his fault developed a mechanical problem, which prevented him from delivering the
tomatoes. He made a decision to sell the tomatoes to people around the area where the
vehicle had a fault. This was done after failing to contact the company since all phones
were switched off. Goagoses sold the tomatoes at a loss. The company now wants to
claim the lost money from Goagoses. Advise, using legal principles, the chances of the
company being successful in this suit. (30 marks).
