If a party is to 'repudiate' a contract, what does this mean?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is: 'damages attempt to position the innocent party in the position that they would have been had the contract been performed as expected'. This is a quote from p. 121 Option1 is incorrect as unliquidated damages aren't stated in a contract. Option 2 is incorrect because liquidated damages are an assessment of damages before a breach. Option 4 is incorrect because not all breaches are caused by errors (they can be caused by negligence or the offending party withholding something).

Option C it is! Repudiation, the legal way to say 'Hey, I changed my mind. Bye-bye, contract!'

Hmm, I always thought 'repudiate' just meant 'to reject or deny.' Looks like Option C is the legal way to say it.

So, it's like saying they won't be able to keep their end of the deal.

Repudiation? Sounds like my ex-girlfriend after I forgot our anniversary. Option C is the way to go here.

I agree with Angelica, 'repudiate' is when the party gives notice that they anticipate that they will not be able to fulfil their future obligations.
