[Avodah] Halachic who is right from "The Lost Scotch"

[Elliott Shevin]

M. Samuel Svarc cited:
> Is Davidi entitled to get paid despite not having sung? "> > The author then writes:> > " No. ... when the real Chaim ben Zundel showed up Yehoshua> and Davidi were equally surprised, sufficient grounds to exonerate Yehoshua> from paying. " 
I summarized MSS's summary for my Rav, and he suggested that my gut instinct was valid: 
Yehoshua should compensate for Davidi's time. (I don't know whether he was saying that 
the halacha goes that way, or whether it's just darchei shalom, and I haven't yet shown him the 
complete story [I bought the book]). 
 
Yehoshua can hardly claim surprise at the fact that Davidi devoted his night to fulfilling his end of 
the deal.
