Kumar is a sole trader. He carries on business under the name Custom Programs. Kumar’s
business is to supply computer programs that meet the particular demands and specifications
of a customer. The business adapts and modifies standard programs, or, where necessary,
writes wholly original programs.
The standard contract used by Custom Programs provides that in return for payment of the
contract price a customer will receive delivery of a program plus ‘support’ for twelve months
following delivery. Support involves debugging problems that may arise in a program,
training in the use of a program and assistance in troubleshooting problems that a customer
may encounter.
Plant used in Kumar’s business includes some expensive hardware financed by Bankco under
a finance lease.
In April Kumar agrees to sell his business as a going concern to Jone with effect from May
1st. Among other things, the sale agreement provides;
that Jone shall be responsible for fulfilling the support obligation on programs delivered to
customers in the twelve months before the sale date.
that Jone will ‘take over’ the finance lease with Bankco. Kumar and Jone together
approach Bankco and obtain the bank’s agreement to this arrangement.
