In cases of anticipatory breach, where the defendant indicates they will not fulfill their contractual obligations before the due performance date, the plaintiff is entitled to sue for damages immediately. This allows the plaintiff to address the breach without having to wait for the time of performance to pass, providing a remedy for the loss anticipated due to the defendant's expressed intention not to perform.
