Assume that Jack and Hal and Sophia enter into a contract for the sale of the restaurant for $1,000,000. Part of the contract called for Jack to clean the outside of the restaurant prior to the closing. The day before the closing Hal alerted Jack that the restaurant was not cleaned. Which of the following is true?
A) Hal and Sophia would still have a duty to perform on the contract, but could then sue Jack for the cost of the cleaning.
B) Hal and Sophia could back out of the deal since the contract was not fully performed.
C) Hal and Sophia would still have a duty to perform on the contract, and would be out the amount that it cost them to clean the restaurant.
D) Hal and Sophia Hal and Sophia would still have a duty to perform on the contract, but could then sue Jack for three times the cost of the cleaning.

Contract is a legally binding agreement between different parties involved in a business. that means that every party involved must comply with the conditions that guided the formation of the contract , and if violated a legal action can be instituted against the violating party.

Jack's role of cleaning the outside of the restaurant is a substantial performance in the course of the contract. Failure to keep to it does not keep the other parties out of the contract but he can be sued for the for the cost of cleaning.
