A. All
Bright Consumables (ABC) Ltd manufactures PC
components. It runs this aspect of its operation from a factory
that it leases from JJ Industrial Rentals Ltd (JJ), and the
machines used in the production process are rented from
iMachines and Tools Ltd (iMachines Ltd).
Given the economic crises in 2010, and increasing competition
from the Far East, ABC is in financial difficulties. In March 2010
ABC wrote to JJ of its financial problems and identified ‘We are
suffering severe financial difficulties in these austere times. We
both know you have factories that you are unable to rent, and
unless you can reduce the rent on this factory we will have no
choice but to cease trading and you’ll be left with another
unrented factory.’ Following a discussion between the managing
directors of both companies, JJ agree to accept half rent
payment until such a time as ABC’s business picks up.
ABC also informed iMachines Ltd in the same manner about its
financial problems and it agreed to take a quantity of the PC
components manufactured in lieu of its hire charges for the
financial year from 6 April 2010 to 5 April 2011.
In January 2011 JJ were suffering financial difficulties and
demanded that ABC pay the full rent on the factory from
February 2011. It also demanded payment of the rent owed from
March 2010. It considers this part- payment of a debt and wishes
to exercise its right to obtain payment. At this time, iMachines Ltd
discovered that the PC components it had taken in lieu of hire
charges were worth only half of the hire charges for the year. It
has demanded that ABC pay the balance owed in cash.
 Advise ABC as to whether the payments demanded have to
be made. (CLO 3 – 7 marks)
B. Delia is the managing director of ABC Ltd. She arrived at the
company’s head office to discover the building was ablaze. She
called the emergency services and when the firefighters arrived at
the scene Delia told them that the contents of her office were
extremely valuable and contained irreplaceable items. As such, if
they could prevent the fire spreading there she would reward them
with £100 each. The firefighters wersuccessful in extinguishing the
fire and it did not reach Delia’s office.
 Assess the likely success of the firefighters claiming the
reward. (CLO 4 – 7 marks)
