Splice is Jamaica’s three times Grammy awarded Best Reggae Artiste. Guaranteed to pull a massive crowd, she is booked by John Brown and Tiff Haggish, the promoters of what used to be the Island’s biggest event, ‘Stung’. The event is scheduled to take place on the 21st of August 2021 at the National Arena. Splice’s performance is supposed to be a live stream from Miami where she is on tour. Owing to Splice’s contract for the event the promoters recorded an 80% increase in ticket sales. Unknown to the promoters, an error on the website listed the ticket prices at eight hundred dollars ($800) instead of eight thousand dollars ($8000).
Sabrina and her family of four in anticipation of the event booked a weekend at the Hitz hotel in Kingston. She paid a 50% deposit and made it known that the purpose of the stay was to attend Stung, the balance to be paid two days before the event.
On August 9th due to the spike in corona cases on the island, the government banned all entertainment events. The promoters are forced to cancel the event. Having made a half payment of the performance price to Splice, the promoters maintain that Splice should still have the live performance as this will assist them to retain the ticket prices. Splice’s producers maintain that the contract is no longer valid.
Using legal principles advise the parties on
1. Whether the contract between Splice and the promoters of Stung was frustrated?
2. Whether the contract between Sabrina and the Hitz can be canceled?
3. Whether the contract for the tickets is void for a mistake?
