2. Iyer Associates has breached a contract with Nak Chuy. According to Section 39 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, “When a party to a contract has refused to perform, or disabled himself from performing his promise in its entirety, the promisee may put an end to the contract, unless he has signified, by word or conduct, his acquiescence in its continuance.” There was an implied acceptance between Iyer Associates and Nak Chuy for the five cranes that were remaining. The keyword here is acquiescence. The argument here is that silence is agreement. In the present case it is argued that Iyer Associates never refused to accept the cranes that were sent to them by Nak Chuy. It can be contended that Nak Chuy by sending the cranes to Iyer Associates during January 2009- 2014 had signified its acquiescence in the continuity of the …show more content…
a contract may become impossible to perform if it ceases to exist. The doctrine of frustration will be applicable if a part of the contract is yet to be performed. In Boothalinga Associates v. VTC Poriaswami Nadar, it was ruled that, “Where there is frustration, dissolution of a contract occurs automatically.” In the present case, there was no frustration on part of our client, in fact the frustration was self-induced by the plaintiff. Iyer Associates clearly rejected to pay my client for the five cranes. Furthermore Nak Chuy did not repudiate the contract. They continued shipments of the cranes from 2009 – 2014. Therefore, the contract between Nak Chuy and Iyer Associates was in effect. In 2014, when the contract came to an end, Iyer Associates refused to pay and breached the
When discussing the concept of contract law, there exist two bodies of legal rules that may apply to the contract. These bodies are the common law of contracts and Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the UCC. The common law of contracts is court made and is constantly changing, but the UCC is required in every state within the U.S.A. It is important to know which one to use and when, as well as what the differences between them are.
Legally enforceable "A contract is a legally enforceable promise or set of promises. In other words, when promises have the status of contract, the contracting party harmed by a breach of the contract is entitled to obtain legal remedies against the breaching party." (Scheffel, Evan, and Jane P. Mallor, 2010. Chapter 9, Page 321) The Lambert v. Barron case showed us an example of what happens when a contract does not contain all elements to become a legally enforceable contract. Mr. Barron did not accept the offer, Mr. Lambert made no promise to recover money from the disputed contracts owed to Mr. Barron, so there was no promise to perform.
There are also many more case precedence of being allowed to pursue this case, Khanna vs Microdata Corp showed the court siding in the case of the Plaintiff when he was discharged from his company providing no “just cause” thus severing the implied–in-law covenant that was established during the course of his employment. I would also like to point out “Dare v. Montana Petroleum Marketing” in which job security and a right to be treated fairly was assumed to of been had (Breach of an Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing.

The article suggests that mutual intention should replace objective presumptions of intention to provide sufficient evidence for contract formations and argues that the Australian court system has a long way to go. It further investigates the different court hierarchies and examines the impact to them through different case law. The central argument presents that evidence of intention should be of utmost importance and considered in every case, negating a flat objective
California and Hawaiian Sugar Company contracted Sun ship to build a vessel. The contract gave Sun Ship almost two years to complete the work. The contract contained a liquidated clause that required Sun Ship to pay 17,000 dollars per day for ever day that the ship was not delivered after the agreed date.

The defendant refused to pay the liquidated damages and the plaintiff brought an action to recover the damages.
When applying to law schools, it was imperative that I find an institution that offered legal clinics and student groups in the areas I am most passionate about. Thankfully, I discovered what Georgetown University Law Center has to offer. Georgetown Law is home to the Domestic Violence Clinic, Georgetown Street Law Program, and the Harrison Institute for Housing and Community Development. The work of these three programs alone, made it instinctive for me to write this letter to express my commitment to attend Georgetown Law if admitted.

As mentioned earlier, there are certain requirements which must be met for a contract to be valid; requirements needed include agreement, consideration, contractual capacity and legality. For an agreement to be valid there must be an offer and acceptance present. In other words, there must be an intent known and understood for the contact to have an agreement. With that being said, there is no
But if the contractor failed to do so, the parties may issue a notice making time of essence by giving a reasonable time for the completion. The contractor is not necessary to follow the notice as it is not a part of the contract which can say as time at large. In the other word, the defendant may treat the claimant as having refused the contract.
C. Flood Company was because Richardson had not tried to stop the work from being done at any point throughout the process. By not stopping the work from being done the court agreed that J. C Flood Company had consent from Richardson to do the work that was necessary. The bill that was presented to Richardson was also a reasonable about for the work that was being done and the job was done to the best it could have been.

This judgment given set criterion which is still been used in the modern court system and due to this case it was developed that an offer of contract can be unilateral and doesn’t have to be made to a specific party only. Also it was developed to that the acceptance of an offer does not require a notification and that once the concerned party purchases the product the contract is active then and there itself. And it was also established that purchase of an item is a fine example of consideration and therefore makes it a valid contract. (Smith, 2000).
There is a binding agreement between Sterling and NoBugs and there is non-performance by NoBugs. If a party does not fulfill the contractual promise, there is said to be breach of contract.
