The pursuers' offer, which the defenders accepted on the date it bore, was in these terms—“9th September 1909. We offer to execute the work specified in the foregoing schedule for the sum of £2128, and undertake to finish our department of the work by 15th April next.”
The defenders made a counter claim for damages for the pursuers' failure to finish the work by 15th April.
The pursuers pleaded, inter alia —“(4) The pursuers not being responsible for the delay occasioned by other contractors on the work, the defenders are not entitled to claim compensation from the pursuers for such delay. (5) The pursuers having executed the work as expeditiously as possible are entitled to payment as craved.”
The defenders pleaded—“(3) The pursuers not having executed the contract in terms thereof, are not entitled to found or sue thereon. (4) The pursuers not having executed the contract within the time stipulated therein, are liable to the defenders for the loss and damage which they have sustained thereby.”
