REPUDIATORY BREACH OF CONTRACT

December 18th, 2024 by James Goudie KC

The law and principles applicable to termination of a contract for repudiatory breach do apply to leases. So held in RAMSBURY PROPERTIES LTD v OCEAN VIEW CONSTRUCTION LTD (2024) UKPC 40, at para 42. However (para 43) itu may be rare in the case of a lease, especially where the lease is long-term, for the breach to be sufficiently serious to be repudiatory. This is because a lease confers a proprietary interest in land and exclusive possession.
