Answer(s): C
A breach of representation is a major/ fundamental breach and allows the innocent party to rescind the contract and claim damages.

Alan has an ongoing contract with a supplier for the provision of gardening tools to his horti-culture business. He has been working with the supplier for over 20 years and has recently discovered that the supplier committed a breach in a warranty 3 years ago. Can Alan claim damages?
Answer(s): A
"Yes- A Breach has occurred and a contract is in place" - this is the correct answer. Claims against warranties can be made up to six years from the date the contract is breached. Option 2 isn't correct as a breach in warranty does not allow you to rescind the contract. Options 3 and 4 are incorrect because Alan CAN claim damages. There's a useful table about warranties and conditions on p. 127
If a party is to 'repudiate' a contract, what does this mean?
"the party indicates they no longer intend to fulfil their contractual obligations, usually in response to a breach".

These are all ways contracts can end but are slightly different.

Option 4 is incorrect because there is no need for the innocent party to mitigate any losses. See p.132 for more information on Specific Performance
