Hello,
I have a question from BPP kit.
Lise, a wholesaler from S., entered into a contract with Pascal, a manufacturer from P. to supply her with machinery that was to be built according to her specific design. Several months into Pascal’s build process, Lise decided that she did not require the machines after all, and notified Pascal of her intention not to pay fort he machines.
You should assume that UN Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods applies.
This is an anticipatory breach.
When would it be a breach during performance in this case?
I appreciate any help that you can provide.
December 18, 2015 at 11:29 am #292123I’m not sure that is is anticipatory breach! However, if BPP says it is, then ……….
Breach during performance in the same scenario would be if P were to give notice part way through construction but decided they didn’t want to carry on with the construction and gave notice to L that they were going to breach.
December 18, 2015 at 11:39 am #292126I thought it was anticipatory breach too, because it is stated:” Several months into Pascal’s build process…..”
Thank you for your quick response.
Regards, Marina
