Alan has an ongoing contract with a supplier for the provision of gardening tools to his horti-culture business. He has been working with the supplier for over 20 years and has recently discovered that the supplier committed a breach in a warranty 3 years ago. Can Alan claim damages?
'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
Which of the following is not a way in which a contract can end?

A large financial organisation ensures that they have contracts with all of their suppliers. In which instance would indemnity not necessarily form part of the contract?
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.
Which of the following are a suitable course of action to take in the event of a minor breach of a contract? Select TWO
In the event of a minor breach, CIPS says it is best to work with the defaulting party by conducting progress meetings and collaboration. This is on p. 50 of the study guide
