Classification

There are a number of ways terms may be classified which may impact upon remedies available for breach. For example, terms classified as 'conditions' will, if breached, allow the innocent party to terminate the contract whereas terms classified as 'warranties' (less important terms) will generally only permit the innocent party to claim damages for breach. Consequently, it is necessary to understand how courts will classify the terms of a contract.

Detailed discussion forthcoming
