Guthrie Caterers failed to turn up as contracted to cater George and Susan's wedding reception. The deposit, which was the only money paid to that point, was returned by courier the next morning without comment. This was an implied repudiation since Guthrie did not contact George and Susan and actually tell them, "We will not be catering your wedding."
