After six months of commencing the work, Hasan realised he had priced the job too low and would be unable to complete at the originally agreed price. He approachedMXM Co. who recognised that the price was particularly low and was concerned about completing the contract on time. MXM Co. agreed to make additional payments to Hasan in return for his promise to carry out his existing obligations MXM Co. agreed to pay Hasan an additional ? 575 per flat. Hasan continued work on the flats for a further period of 6 weeks but only received an additional ₹ 5,000. He then ran out of money and refused to continue unless payment was made.
