Recently there has been a lot of rain and Bridget’s garden has been flooding. She contracts with Atif to dig trenches and insert pipes as land drains in her garden. They agree that the work will be completed by 30th March and that Atif will complete all of the necessary work for £8,000. When Atif commences the work in mid-February, he discovers that there is a layer of rock in the ground and he will need to hire heavy-duty pneumatic digging equipment to remove it.

He had not anticipated the rock when he quoted for the work. He approaches Bridget and explains that the rock will delay his work by a month unless he hires expensive digging equipment. Bridget reminds Atif that they agreed that he would finish by 30th March. Atif tells her that he has some digging equipment but using it would be a slow process and he can only meet her deadline if he hires different equipment at an extra cost of £1,500. Bridget works from home, offering outdoor pilates classes in the garden.

She has a full diary of classes from mid-April which she knows that she will have to cancel if Atif does not finish on time. She reminds Atif that he had agreed a finish date and price but he says that he simply cannot afford to complete the job without further payment because he will be losing money. When Atif will not change his position, Bridget reluctantly agrees to pay him the additional £1,500 if he completes on time. Bridget tells Camilla, one of her students, about the difficulty that she is experiencing with Atif. Camilla has booked in for a series of pilates instructor classes in April and she is worried that the classes may not go ahead.

Atif hires the equipment and completes the job to the original schedule but then Bridget and Camilla refuse to pay him the money they promised, saying that he has only done what he originally agreed to do. Advise Atif whether he can enforce the promises of additional payment against Bridget and Camilla.
