ABSTRACT
H had agreed to buy from A, ‘22,000 standards of softwood goods of fair specification over the season 1930’. The agreement contained an option to buy 100,000 standards in 1931. No difficulties arose regarding the 1930 contract, but when H tried to exercise their option for 1931, A argued that the contract was too vague since the contract contained no details as to the kind or size of timber or the manner of shipment. However, the House of Lords held that as there had been no serious difficulties in carrying out the contract for 1930, there was no reason why it could not be carried out for 1931.
