Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A condition is a fundamental term of a contract, so a breach of a condition will allow the victim of the breach to end the contract and not perform her side of the agreement. In contrast, a warranty is a term of the contract that does not go to the essence of the agreement and aims to provide a remedy if the goods purchased are defective. Therefore, statement D is incorrect. Statement A is also incorrect because a purchaser may have a claim against the manufacturer for other reasons, such as misrepresentation. Statement B and E are incorrect because they are only partially correct - the victim of a breach of a condition need not perform her side of the agreement, but the victim of a breach of a warranty still needs to perform her side of the agreement.
