A contractor had mistakenly erected 20 metres extra fencing.

Question

A contractor had mistakenly erected 20 metres extra fencing. He demands that I pay for this extra fencing which I had not ordered. What am I supposed to do?

Answer

The contractor who had mistakenly erected an extra 20 metres of fencing may not hold you responsible. Either he may remove the fencing or come to some compromise with you if you wish to retain the fencing. The second transaction may be concluded by mutual agreement. However, if the parties cannot agree to a price, then the contractor should remove his material.
