“A Breach of Contract occurs when a party thereto renounces his liability under it, or by his own act makes it impossible that he should perform his obligations under it or totally or partially fails to perform such obligations”. This definition of breach appears in which of the following cases?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The definition appears in Associated Cinemas of America v. World Amusement Company. It describes breach through repudiating contractual liability, making one's own performance impossible, or failing to perform an obligation. In that case, the exhibitor refused to show films on the agreed terms, and the court treated that conduct as repudiation. The attribution concerns the case in which the definition appears, rather than a claim that the court originally invented the formulation.
