Which of the following situations would be considered a minor breach of a contract? Select TWO:

Aa painter is contracted to paint a room white but paints it magnolia as there was no white paint available

Ba consultant has given bad advice

Ca zoo orders three baby lions and is given three baby tigers

Ca supplier has breached a non-disclosure agreement

DA supplier delivers a lorry-load of produce six hours late due to a burst tyre.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

DEF must deliver the pasta required by ABC is the correct answer. Specific performance is when the innocent party is rewarded by receiving what was initially negotiated - in this case the delivery of pasta. It's basically a posh way of saying that the court mandates you to do what the contract says. See p. 129 for information on Specific Performance.

Definitely A and D. The paint color and the late delivery are minor hiccups, not major breaches. As for the baby tigers, I didn't even know that was an option. Someone needs to work on their animal identification skills!

I wonder how the zoo ended up with baby tigers instead of lions, that's quite a mix-up.

A and D for sure. The paint color and the late delivery are pretty minor compared to the other options. I mean, who orders baby tigers instead of lions? That's just crazy!

I'd go with A and D. The paint color mix-up and the late delivery are inconvenient, but not major issues. The other options seem like more serious breaches of the contract.

I disagree. I believe option B and D are minor breaches because bad advice can be rectified, and a delayed delivery can still fulfill the contract.

I agree with you, Alana. The painter didn't use the exact color but still completed the job, and the late delivery was due to unforeseen circumstances.

A and D seem like the clear minor breaches here. The painter using a different color and the late delivery due to a burst tire are relatively minor issues, unlike the bad advice or breach of a non-disclosure agreement.
