The parties entered into a verbal agreement in 2014 for the supply and installation of a fully automated parking management system in Harare. The appellant installed the system on 500 bays and supplied handheld devices, which were paid for. The agreement for the remaining 4,445 bays was conditional on the availability of funds. The respondent terminated the agreement in 2017, and the appellant sued for specific performance and damages in 2021.
