A 2 b 6 c 3 d 7 e 1 f 5 g 4 Use the email on page 87 as a model. I will outline the law in this jurisdiction as it applies to the Facts in the instant case. Suggested answers The issue in the instant case is whether a seller may Sue a buyer for anticipatory breach of contract when The buyer tells the seller that he will not accept the Goods, even though the seller was not yet obligated Under the contract to deliver the goods. 2 The non-breaching party in this case has two options: Firstly, he may trust what the buyer has said and Conclude that, legally, he no longer has to do the things He promised to do under the contract. Secondly, he Could continue to act as if the contract was still in force, As long as this does not cause any harm to the buyer. Under the reliance principle, if one party to a contract Tells the other party to the contract that it will not Abide by what they agreed to in the contract, then this Other party (non-breaching party) can legally rely on This verbal notice of intent to breach and take action Accordingly. This principle relates to the case at hand Because the seller has attempted to make deliveries Under a long-term contract with the buyer, but the buyer Refused to accept the goods on the first delivery date. Since the contract was for deliveries over a number of Years, the reliance principle can apply if the buyer has Informed the seller that it will continue to refuse the Goods for the remaining term of the contract. The courts here have reasoned that... Admittedly, there is a precedent stating that ... In a leading case on this point, Judge Hand stated that... This seems to be the majority position in this jurisdiction. Language Focus Date: 2015-12-11; view: 1316
