True

Explanation:

The answer is TRUE.

As Ernest made contracts with the special carrier emphasizing that the parts are needed to be delivered by 25th of April. The special carrier company agrees to this and promised to deliver the part by 25 April. Ernest intends to open his ice cream stand by st of May.

Now if the special carrier fails to deliver the part by 25th of April, they will have to recover the consequential losses and damages bared by Ernest because of the delay as there was a mutual agreement on the delivery date by 25th of April on the contract.

Hence the answer is TRUE.
