OBS

Although it is commonplace to speak of discharge of a contract by breach, meaning the breach of a condition (or its equivalent), the result of such a breach is not the automatic termination of the contract ... The true effect of a breach which may be said to "discharge" the contract is to relieve the innocent party of his obligations to perform under the contract (and to entitle him to sue for damages in respect of his loss ...)
