Which of the following is the best example of a promisee neglecting to afford the promisor reasonable facilities for performance?

A buyer refusing the delivery staff entry to the premises where installation is to be done is the clear example. It denies the promisor reasonable facilities for performance, so Section 67 excuses non-performance caused by it, unlike the other situations which concern different provisions.

  1. AA buyer refuses to let the delivery staff enter the premises where goods are to be installedCorrect
  2. BA promisor offers goods that are not of the contracted quality
  3. CA third person offers to perform the promise and the promisee accepts it
  4. DA promisee fails to apply for performance within the usual hours of business

Explanation

Refusing entry to the premises where work must be done denies the promisor the facilities needed to perform, which is the situation in Section 67. Accepting performance from a third person is a different matter under Section 41, and applying for performance at a proper time is a duty under Section 48.
