And what difference exactly was that supposed to have accomplished?
Maybe we should commit all the sins we want and at the point of death request for forgiveness and a Passport to heaven..

why you no pull the plug escape with parachute when you notice the plane is acting funny

I think he is Hiding some were, he don't want to play in the UK because of brexit. he is on Hiding and hunger strike over brexit.


Don't ask me how i know please.

Maybe they should ask Nigerian pastors were he is, If they can tell us that Hilary clinton will win why can't they tell us this?

Our messiah doesn't count on our past but our present, there's power in the tongue, once you repent wholeheartedly through confession your past is over.

TexasR:


Why do you have to be so Danny insensitive The fact he didn't record his last prayers does not mean he did not say it.Don't be here on nairaland felling the missing guy what to say, wait till you get close to your own death and pray as you like since you are very good at it

ask your Muslim friends, they will gladly tell you what they wish their last word will be at the point of death

When he made the call, the plane wasnt crashing yet

That would be highly convenient,just wait till death is staring you in the face,then boom!! Confess your sins and all is forgiven.
But then some said even in Purgatory your sins can still be forgiven,so who knows..he might still make it to heaven..

Heyaa

chudyprince:

He had a bad feeling doesnt mean he knew. Not all people like flying. His feeling only came to pass

From the onset he wasn't too sure about the plane, how I wish he made a u turn, my heart is so heavy, my prayers are with his family.

These propeller, single engine planes are just what they are. My experience going on that thing wasn't nice at all.

Legit question, is Cardiff still contractually obligated to fulfill their payment to Nantes on the back of this tragedy?

It all depends on the terms of the contract - and the law that is stated to apply where a dispute arises. There is a doctrine in English Contract law - doctrine of frustration. It allows the contract to be set aside where performance of an obligation by either party is impossible.

“Frustration is an English contract law doctrine that acts as a device to set aside contracts where an unforeseen event either renders contractual obligations impossible, or radically changes the party's principal purpose for entering into the contract”

It’s simple - they can try to settle amicably and reduce the amount obligated to be paid for the player - which I imagine will Be done in this case. Buh if they proceed to court Cardiff would most likely win the case. Insurance issues comes in as well.

Incredible... Thanks for this breakdown. Care to explain further why you think Cardiff will win the case?
Since they initiated the purchase of the player and most likely hired the aircraft which ferried him to Wales for the signing.

No worries bro...

I am not particularly familiar with the facts of this case.

But if, like you mentioned,
1. They initiated the contract, and
2. Contracted the ferrie which occasioned his death;

they still have a good case.

Many times - terms of the contract will contain the conditions for performance and how Any dispute will be resolved - if one comes up before performance.

But - assuming there here are no such provisions in their contract... the general principles of contact law will apply. I would imagine some amount must have been paid upfront. Contracts have been signed - and may be the final payment is tied to some final obligations from Nantes (e.g transfer of insurance policies, documents, etc.).

Where the above applies - and the player - WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CONTRACT - is now dead? then performance of contract is not yet concluded - frustration will apply. This text explains it better;

The Restatement (Second) of Contracts, Section 265, defines frustration of purpose:

Where, after a contract is made, a party's principal purpose is substantially frustrated without his fault by the occurrence of an event the non-occurrence of which was a basic assumption on which the contract was made, his remaining duties to render performance are discharged, unless the language or circumstances [of the contract] indicate the contrary.

Now it is not an argument that the ferrie which killed the player was contracted by Cardiff - the flight was not within their reasonable control; if anything, Cardiff can bear some financial liability (and compensate Nantes - but not for the full balance for the player) - and Cardiff can in-turn pursue the ferrie company to recover their expenses.

I imagine that’s how it will play out if it goes to court. Buh the UK are quite good with out of court settlements/arbitration: especially to respect the dead player.

Hi, I had to get back to you.
I just read that Nantes are demanding £15M from Cardiff, just like I suspected. Their argument is that when the plane went down, Sala was a Cardiff player.
Do you find merit in their argument?

Let me check the news out. I will follow up with my opinion

I checked out the news last night on BBC bro...

Yes - apparently the contract was already concluded - and the documentation complete. I am surprised Cardiff hasn’t even paid any part of the money at all - which became due after 7 days of completion of the contract.

I read they were suing for the first payment - and according to the concract / the payment is spread over 3 years.

I am afraid Nantes is entitled to enforcement of the terms of the contract as it appears it was all concluded before the players demise. The court cannot invoke Frustration due to doctrine of sanctity of contract. Frustration only applies if there is a pending obligation; from either party, and the contract is either silent or imposed an onerous term in the event of such occurring.

The only issue now is Insurance. Cardiff must honour the terms of the contract, and the insurance company will have to bear the cost for repayment. I also read Bordeaux has a 50% stake on the player’s purchase price oweing to a clause in his contract of sale from Bordeaux to Nantes.

But between me and you: if I was representing Cardiff I will have a sit down with Nantes’ lawyers and Bordeax’ - on the possibility of a reduced payment. The only thing is that it will be at the discretion of both parties to agree to a reduced price.
