It's reputational damage as the scenario mentions 'bad press'

Explanation

If you're not happy with the decision of an adjudication you can appeal the decision. So option 2 is correct. If the appeal is turned down then unfortunately there's not much more you can do as adjudication is binding and legally enforceable. See p. 143 for more info on adjudication

Explanation

"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

This is a condition as it is fundamental to the contract.

Explanation

This is a minor breach. This is the definition as given in the study guide on p. 48

Explanation

Verity can sue for damages. The order was placed over the phone meaning that there was a verbal contract in place. Contracts do not need to be written to be enforceable so option 2 is incorrect. There is no termination clause mentioned in the question so you can assume that there isn't one. This means that the retailer is committing a breach of the verbal contract by cancelling the order. Verity could therefore apply for damages. (Whether or not they'd be awarded is a different matter!). This question tests your understanding of when contracts can be terminated and remedies for breaches. See p. 134.

Explanation

Indemnity isn't usually used for confidentiality agreements - this is stated on p.21 of the study guide. This is because it's hard to indemnify against- you don't know what the consequence of a breach of confidentiality is going to be so it's hard to quantify. Unliquidated damages is more suitable. The study guide does state that indemnity is frequently used in intellectual property rights, software licence agreements and share purchase agreements. This is also written on p. 21.

Specifying the food needs to be organic is a 'specification'

Explanation

Perry should try adjudication. Litigation is public so there would be no confidentiality. Out of the four options only adjudication would provide Perry with what he needs; a binding decision which is confidential. See p.146 for more information on litigation.

Explanation

This is a Fundamental Breach. Fundamental Breach and Major Breach are very similar- they're both really bad and can lead to damages and the termination of the contract. The difference is that a Fundamental Breach is so bad that it goes to the root of the contract - a breach so bad that the contract is basically worthless. For example if you make a contract with a supplier to have potatoes delivered but it turns out they don't sell potatoes, only apples, and they keep sending you apples instead of potatoes. This would be a fundamental breach because its something so fundamental to the contract that there's no point in the contract existing if there's a breach like this. Condition Breach and Essence Breach are made up words- they don't exist. P.44

Explanation

The correct answers are 1 and 3. The other options are false; Mediation does not produce legal precedents- only litigation can do this. Mediation is a cheap dispute resolution option (much cheaper than arbitration or litigation) and the third party has no authority on the matter- they are there as a facilitator of dialogue, not to make a judgement. For more information on mediation see p.74

Explanation

Innominate - the conflict resolution process would determine if the clause is a condition or a war-ranty. Before there's a breach there's no way to know, so it's classed as an Innominate Term. P. 43. Types of contract terms comes up a lot in the exam. Learn these.

Explanation

The correct answers are as follows:

The answer is compromise as they're seeking a solution that will satisy everyone.

Explanation

The correct answers are; A written agreement between two robbers to rob a bank which states that the money gained would be split evenly between the two AND a domestic agreement between two parents about who will pick the kids up from school. There are 3 instances when a contract isn't considered a contract and these are; illegal activity (like example A), a social or domestic arrange-ment (like example B) and when something is an 'Invitation to Treat'. See p.2-3 Remember con-tracts don't have to be written - they can be verbal (example C), the exchange doesn't have to be fair (example D) and it can be implied by conduct (example E).

This is mediation - there's a third party with no powers. The answer can't be negotiation as negotiation doesn't have a third party. The answer can't be litigation or arbitration as the third party here does have decision making power.

Explanation

Negotiation isn't an alternative dispute resolution because it's supposed to be the 'default' dispute resolution- the one you automatically do when a problem occurs. Only if negotiation fails should you turn to ADR. P. 142

Explanation

The correct answers are as follows:

The answer is collaborate because they have set up a meeting to discuss options.

Explanation

Unliquidated damages would be the best to include as there is no way of identifying a figure for liquidated damages. This would be the safest thing for the buyer to do. P.108 - section on Unliqui-dated Damages.
