0 8 Claire owned land on which she arranged outdoor events including tree climbing and
zip-wire experiences. Dylan agreed to pay Claire £2000 for himself and a party of
friends to hire the land for a day and enjoy the experiences. This also included food for
the whole day. Dylan paid £400 immediately, the remainder to be paid on the day of the
event. Claire spent £600 in preparation for the event. Two days before the event was to
take place, wet weather that had been forecast was upgraded to a severe storm. Claire
was forced to cancel the tree climbing and zip-wire experiences but said that she would
still provide the food in indoor accommodation.

and advise him of the legal consequences if the contract was found to be frustrated.
