Question: Nirvana is a software development entity that prepares it financial statements to the end of each financial year. During the reporting year ended 30 June
Nirvana is a software development entity that prepares it financial statements to the end of each financial year. During the reporting year ended 30 June 2020, the events described below occurred:
- Before and as at 30 June 2020, Nirvanawas engaged in a legal dispute with a disputatious customer, Paradise Getaways, who alleged that Nirvana supplied a faulty software program for online bookings that has caused significant financial loss.
- Based on expert legal advice, the directors of Nirvana assess that this troublesome customer Paradise Getaways may have an 75% probability of winning this legal dispute, if and when it is settled which may not be until late 2022.
- If Paradise Getaways wins this legal dispute eventually, then the likely outcome is that a judge could award damages of up to $1 million.
- The directors of Nirvana also believe that the fault in its software product was actually caused by a sub-contractor, Fully Moonlit Designs, which specialises in the design of web-based holidays bookings programs, who supplied a defective component.
- So, Nirvana's directors have decided to take legal action against Fully Moonlit Designs, the supplier of the faulty product, calculating that there is 75% probability that Nirvana will win its damages claim of $750,000 from the supplier.
