Separate facts from interpretations
Original synthetic dispute: requirement A-7 says a rejected booking must not change the existing booking. A trial rejection kept the existing time but cleared its room. Both sides agree those recorded states occurred; they disagree about acceptance.
| Record element | Filled statement | Evidence or authority |
|---|---|---|
| Agreed baseline | A-7: existing booking unchanged on rejection | Approved A-7 snapshot |
| Synthetic observed state | Time remains 15:00; room becomes empty | Before/after record EX-7 |
| Interpretations and next owner | Supplier: time unchanged; buyer: room also part of record | Acceptance owner checks A-7, not a new baseline |
Resolve the dispute against recorded evidence
Under the supplied A-7 wording, can the cleared room be ignored because the time stayed the same?
Show the worked answer
No. The requirement preserves the existing booking, not merely its time. Record the room change as a mismatch and agree repair/retest; preserve the disagreement and original evidence.
This illustrates an evidence-based acceptance decision, not legal adjudication or a rule for withholding payment. Use the actual baseline and agreed dispute authority.
