Discharge by Breach

Breach of contract may give the non-breaching party a right to terminate a contract. The non-breaching party may terminate a contract for breach if (a) a provision of the contract permits discharge for breach in the circumstances (eg, it might provide that in the event of failure to supply goods on a specific date the other party may terminate the contarct), (b) if the other party repudates the contract - that is, renounces their obligations under it (eg, they say that will not perform the contract); or (c) the breach is sufficiently serious (minor or technical breaches will generally not allow the non-breaching party to terminate)
