I don't know why you are asking for a case law - is it for academic purpose? Otherwise, only a fairly good lawyer can handle these types of matters.

Yes it is for academic purpose. cant find any similar case law.

Your query is not framed correctly, as I see it. You are stating that A entered into the subsequent contract with C and then saying that A only objected to it. How is that factually correct? You may rephrase, as necessary.

@Querist,

Due to parlytic stroke, the performance of the contract became impossible within a reasonable time,not matter time is an essence of the contract or not.It became voidable at the option of A.

B cannot object to the contract between A and C since it's not possible for him now to discharge his obligation.
