Under the general law of contract, said Lord Wilberforce, acceptance of a repudiatory breach does not bring about rescission ab initio’. It follows, therefore, that if an innocent party, the victim of a breach of contract that is sufficiently important, chooses to treat the contract as discharged, for example, where goods sold to a buyer are defective and the buyer rejects them, his conduct is not to be looked upon as involving rescission of the contract.  2, record 1, English, - rescission%20ab%20initio

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...)  3, record 2, English, - discharge%20by%20breach

A distinction must be made between misrepresentations which are fraudulent and those which are not. A fraudulent misrepresentation is one which is made with knowledge that it is untrue and with the intent to deceive. It may even constitute a term of the contract.... Non-fraudulent misrepresentations have a different effect. At common law only fraud entitles an innocent party to upset his apparent consent and avoid a contract which originally was validly created.  2, record 3, English, - non%2Dfraudulent%20misrepresentation

Before recent developments with respect to exclusion and similar clauses, it might have been said that a clause that purported to exclude liability for breaches of conditions and warranties did not effectively exclude liability for breaches of a fundamental term : whereas a fundamental breach, which might nonetheless have been equated with a breach of condition, albeit no a breach of warranty fell within the ambit of the exclusion clause, so that the innocent party was deprived of any remedy.  2, record 4, English, - breach%20of%20a%20fundamental%20term

The various Acts require registration of such agreements if the conditional sales vendor is to retain his common law rights as owner against innocent purchasers of the goods from the buyer under the conditional sales agreement. Registration operates as notice(at least within the same jurisdiction), thereby precluding the innocent third party from relying upon the Sale of Goods and Factors Acts to obtain a good title as against the conditional sales vendor(assuming that those statutes apply to a conditional sales agreement).(Fridman, "Sale of Goods, "2nd ed., 1979, p. 541).  3, record 6, English, - conditional%20sales%20vendor

A breach of contract, no matter what form it may take, always entitles the innocent party to maintain an action for damages, but the rule established by a long line of authorities is that the right of a party to treat a contract as discharged arises only in two types of case. Firstly, where the party in default has repudiated the contract before performance is due or before it has been fully performed. Secondly, where the party in default has committed what in modern judicial parlance is called a fundamental breach.  3, record 11, English, - defaulter
