Question
Shalom.
A group of girls ordered a 20-seat van for a trip, but in practice, due to a miscalculation, 23 girls came for the trip, and because of discussions that took place following this mistake, the departure was delayed by 40 minutes.
The driver is demanding an additional 300 NIS for a trip he could have made during that time. Is he right?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
He cannot demand payment for the other (potential) trip, but they must pay him for the extra time that was not included in the original price.
