[All L5M3 Questions]

Which of the following situations would be considered a minor breach of a contract? Select TWO:

Aa painter is contracted to paint a room white but paints it magnolia as there was no white paint available

Ba consultant has given bad advice

Ca zoo orders three baby lions and is given three baby tigers

Ca supplier has breached a non-disclosure agreement

DA supplier delivers a lorry-load of produce six hours late due to a burst tyre.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

DEF must deliver the pasta required by ABC is the correct answer. Specific performance is when the innocent party is rewarded by receiving what was initially negotiated - in this case the delivery of pasta. It's basically a posh way of saying that the court mandates you to do what the contract says. See p. 129 for information on Specific Performance.

A and D make sense, but C is a big mix-up!

Wait, how is painting a room the wrong color minor? Seems like a big deal to me.

Totally agree with A! Painting it a different color isn't a huge deal.

I’m leaning towards A and D as the minor breaches, but I wonder if the tiger situation in C could also fit that category.

I feel like option B with the bad advice might not be a minor breach, but I can't recall the specifics of why.

I remember a practice question where a similar situation involved a late delivery. I think option D could also be considered minor, but I’m not confident.

I think option A about the painter is a minor breach since the color change was due to a lack of paint, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I'll need to re-read them a few times to make sure I understand.

Okay, let's see. I think the key is to identify the situations that are less severe breaches of the contract terms.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the difference between a minor and major breach of contract. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I've got a strategy - I'll focus on the degree of deviation from the contract terms and select the two that seem most minor.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it JobID? That would link the unsubscribe to the specific send job, but I'm not totally confident that's the right answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is understanding the concept of "repurchased under repos" and how that relates to the principal amount. I'll go with B - Breakage.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions a "brick and motor" store, which I'm not familiar with. I'll need to think carefully about the different market segmentation criteria and how they apply in this scenario.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is C. Dense mode is the only one that uses a shared tree exclusively, right?

Definitely A and D. The paint color and the late delivery are minor hiccups, not major breaches. As for the baby tigers, I didn't even know that was an option. Someone needs to work on their animal identification skills!

A and D for sure. The paint color and the late delivery are pretty minor compared to the other options. I mean, who orders baby tigers instead of lions? That's just crazy!

I'd go with A and D. The paint color mix-up and the late delivery are inconvenient, but not major issues. The other options seem like more serious breaches of the contract.

I disagree. I believe option B and D are minor breaches because bad advice can be rectified, and a delayed delivery can still fulfill the contract.

I agree with you, Alana. The painter didn't use the exact color but still completed the job, and the late delivery was due to unforeseen circumstances.

A and D seem like the clear minor breaches here. The painter using a different color and the late delivery due to a burst tire are relatively minor issues, unlike the bad advice or breach of a non-disclosure agreement.
