repudiation of contract
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
A form of BreachOfContract where a party announces his
intention not to perform his obligations under it (rather that simply
not performing it in the expected time and manner). This is also known
as `anticipatory breach of contract'. A person may have the right to
repudiate if the other party is in breach of a Condition
of the contract, and he may then treat the contract as discharged.
However, repudiation is a breach of contract, and if
done without good cause will leave the repudiator liable for
Damages.
