Nature's Flowers is required, as a condition of their contract, to supply the Ubiquitous Chip, a trendy restaurant, with 45 flower arrangements for tables and three large displays, twice a week. This week, it was two table arrangements short one day and three short on the other. The Ubiquitous Chip can argue that Nature's Flowers have breached a condition of the contract and treat the contract as being at an end, which means they would not have to pay for the flowers delivered.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A breach of condition typically refers to a significant failure to perform a fundamental part of the contract. Being short by a few arrangements may be considered a minor breach or breach of warranty, not a breach of condition, and does not necessarily entitle the Ubiquitous Chip to terminate the contract without payment.
