Reference no: EM13969562

Kevin is the owner of a small Hull-based firm, which specialises in office removals. He operates with two vans and three employees. He contracts to remove two partners in a firm of accountants, who are moving from their main office in Hull to establish a branch office in Scunthorpe. To minimise the disruption to office routine, the move is to take place on a Sunday. What is the legal position in the following situations?

(a) The Humber bridge is closed because of high winds (the only alternative route is a much longer and more expensive journey via Goole).

(b) As a conservation measure, the government imposes regulations banning business traffic from the roads on Sundays.

(c) Kevin takes on a house removal for the same day. One of the vans fails its MOT on the Friday and Kevin decides to use the only one available for the house removal.

(d) Kevin and his three employees are taken ill with influenza and are not well enough to carry out the move.

(e) Kevin completes the removal except for one filing cabinet which he did not have room for. He refuses to make a special journey for it because 'it would cost too much in petrol'.
