What is in this drill
Scope: FLK1, Chapter 3: Contract
A sample question
A charterparty for a two-year hire of a ship included a term that the ship would be seaworthy. Because the engine crew were incompetent, the ship was out of service for five weeks in the first year. The charterers want to terminate the charter. Are they entitled to do so?
- Yes, because the term on seaworthiness is a condition, so any breach of it, however minor, allows termination.
- No, because the breach of this innominate term did not deprive them of substantially the whole benefit.
- No, because the term on seaworthiness is only a warranty, whose breach gives damages only.
- Yes, because any breach of contract entitles the innocent party to terminate.
- No, because termination for breach is available only in contracts for the sale of goods.
