Delay in the Performance of Contractual Obligations remains the leading practitioner work on the subject and includes consideration of variations in practice in different sectors.There are many new cases reflected in this new edition. Those of particular relevance to delay in the House of Lords, Supreme Court and Privy Council include Sentinel International Ltd v Cordes (2008) on notices making time of the essence, The Achilleas (2007) on remoteness of damage, The New Flamenco (2017) on mitigation, Sempra Metals Ltd v Inland Revenue Commissioners (2007) on the award of interest on damages, White v Riverside Housing Association Ltd (2007) on rent review, and Makdessi v Cavendish Square Holdings BV (2015) on the penalty doctrine. Those in the Court of Appeal include British Overseas Bank Nominees Ltd v Analytical Properties Ltd (2015) on conditions precedent and the order of performance, The Arctic III (2016) on indemnity clauses, The Crudesky (2013) on force majeure clauses and demurrage, North Eastern Properties Ltd v Coleman (2010) and Samarenko v Dawn Hill House Ltd (2011) on notices making time of the essence, Siemens Building Technologies FE Ltd v Supershield Ltd (2010) and John Grimes Partnership Ltd v Gubbins (2012) on remoteness of damage, Spar Shipping AS v Grand China Logistics Holding (Group) Co Ltd (2016) on the late payment of charterparty hire, Ampurius Nu Homes Holdings Ltd v Telford Homes (Creekside) Ltd (2013), Urban 1 (Blonk St) v Ayres (2013) and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co v Cottonex Anstalt (2016) on delay as a repudiatory breach, and The Sea Angel (2007) and The Mary Nour (2008) on the doctrine of frustration. The growing trend towards reliance upon the so-called prevention principle is also treated with particular reference to Multiplex Constructions (UK) Ltd v Honeywell Control Systems Ltd (2007), Adyard Abu Dhabi LLC v SD Marine Services (2011), and Jerram Falkus Construction Ltd v Fenice Investments Inc (2011). The book also discusses the implications of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 on delays in performance. A new chapter has been included in this edition in relation to express contractual provisions dealing with issues of delay, with special reference to construction contracts, charter parties and contracts for the sale of land.

Delay in the Performance of Contractual Obligations

Stannard, John

Foreign & International Law

Oxford University Press

Providing a comprehensive and detailed treatment of termination as a remedy for breach of contract, this book gives a current account of the law and explains this complex area in a practical context.\nThis book is divided into four parts. The first section sets out to analyse what is involved in termination and looks at some of the difficulties surrounding the topic, before going on to explain the evolution of the present law and its main principles. The second section provides a thorough analysis of the two key topics of breach and termination. Breach is defined in terms of a failure, without good excuse, to perform an obligation under the contract, and the various aspects of this definition are explained in the light of the relevant authorities.\nThe chapter on breach of contract has continued to take on board the developing principles of contractual construction, most notably in relation to the interpretation of exemption clauses, where Supreme Court and Court of Appeal decisions, namely Impact Funding Solutions Ltd v Barrington Support Services Ltd and Persimmon Homes Ltd v Ove Arup and Partners Ltd, have continued to question the extent to which the traditional approach can be reconciled with the broader canons of commercial construction now adopted by the courts. In the following chapter, termination is defined in the terms of an election by the promisee, in consequence of a breach by the promisor, to claim discharge from his or her own primary obligations under the contract. This process, which can also be seen as a major contractual remedy in its own right, is distinguished from other processes with which it has a close relationship, most notable the right to withhold performance and discharge under the doctrine of frustration. The controversial decision of the Court of Appeal in MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co SA v Cottonex Anstalt is discussed here.\nThe third part addresses the question when the right to terminate for breach arises. The law gives two answers to this question - when the term broken is classified as a 'condition' of when a 'fundamental' breach has occurred. The nature of a 'condition' in this sense is explained, and the criteria for identifying when a term should be classified as such is set out. Similarly, the criteria for identifying a fundamental breach is discussed, as is the difficult relationship between the concepts of fundamental breach and repudiation and the doctrine of anticipatory breach. Recent Court of Appeals decisions are included, such as Spar Shipping AS v Grand China Logistics Holding (Group) Co Ltd, which provides useful guidance as to the relationship between conditions and contractual rights of termination.\nThe fourth and final section considers the consequences of the promisee's election whether to terminate. In this section the legal effects of termination with regard to the obligations and remedies available to the promisee and the promisor, and also its effect on the application of other terms in the contract such as exemption clauses, are analysed. The measure of damages available to the promisee following termination, most notable damages 'on the footing of repudiation' or damages for 'loss of the bargain' is also considered here alongside other general principles governing damages in this context. The position on damages in The Golden Victory has been extended further by Bunge SA v Nidera BV as discussed in Chapter 10. Similarly the examination of the Court of Appeal decision in The New Flamenco provides additional authority on mitigation to damages. Principles relating to restitution recovery are re-examined by reference to three major Supreme Court cases on unjust enrichment: Benedetti v Sawiris; Memelaou v Bank of Cyprus UK Ltd; and Investment Trust Companies v Revenue and Customs Commissioners.

The measure of damages available to the promisee following termination, most notably damages 'on the footing of repudiation' or damages for 'loss of the bargain' is also considered here alongside other general principles governing damages in this context. The final chapter examines the legal consequences of affirmation, once again both with regard to the promisee and the promisor, with particular emphasis on the extent of the promisee's right to enforce the performance of the contract by way of an action for an agreed sum or an action for specific performance.
