Question:
The Province of Saskatchewan hired a courier to deliver an envelope to a land registry office in British Columbia (BC). Unknown to the courier company, the envelope contained a document relating to land owned by the plaintiff. If delivered on time, the document would have enabled the plaintiff to complete the sale of its land. The courier company was unreasonable slow and delivered the document too late. Consequently, the plaintiff was unable to perform the contract of sale, and it suffered a loss of huge amounts.
The Plaintiff sued the courier company for the loss suffered as well related incidental expenses. Does the action of the Plaintiff prosper? Explain the reason.
