Read the facts and the question and then choose the best answer. In July, A, the owner of a sports stadium, agrees to pay $10,000 to B, a turf specialist, to lay 1,000 square metres of new turf in the stadium in time for a football match on September 15th. In late August A asks B when he will begin laying the turf. B says, "There's plenty of time". A disagrees, believing turf needs at least two weeks to settle. He tells B the contract is terminated on grounds of anticipatory breach and contracts with another supplier. In these circumstances, is A taking an unwise risk by terminating B's right to perform? |
