What is the effect of a construction theory approach on a construction contract?

Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from Korol v. Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers Inc., 2000 SKQB 367 (CanLII):

My findings of fact and conclusion with respect to the construction theory approach are dispositive of the issue of frustration. Therefore, I need not address the facts in the context of the mistaken assumption approach beyond noting that against the background of current commercial practices the mistaken assumptions by Obst are not so far outside the risks allocated by the Contract that they undermined the substance of the Contract. (iii) Enforcement v. Enrichment
