Reena decided to order a pizza online. She called her favourite pizza delivery restaurant ‘Piping Hot Pizza’ and placed an order for a pizza over the telephone. The person at the other end of the telephone line took her order but explained that their computer system had crashed and therefore Reena would need to pay the delivery person directly when they arrived with her pizza. Reena agreed that she would pay the delivery person. Reena is furious because it has been three hours since she made the call to ‘Piping Hot Pizza’, and her pizza has still not been delivered. The restaurant is not answering their telephone. Reena would like you to advise her on the following: What are the essential elements of a contract? Explain if they exist in this scenario. Part B What are the potential remedies for a breach of contract (not in relation to the above scenario)?
