Contract for Sale in UK Law
-
Johnson v Agnew
“
(2) The general principle for the assessment of damages is compensatory, i.e. that the innocent party is to be placed, so far as money can do so, in the same position as if the contract had been performed. But this is not an absolute rule: if to follow it would give rise to injustice, the court has power to fix such other date as may be appropriate in the circumstances.
In cases where a breach of a contract for sale has occurred, and the innocent party reasonably continues to try to have the contract completed, it would to me appear more logical and just rather than tie him to the date of the original breach, to assess damages as at the date when (otherwise than by his default) the contract is lost.

Gilbert Ash (Northern) Ltd v Modern Engineering (Bristol) Ltd
“
But in construing such a contract one starts with the presumption that neither party intends to abandon any remedies for its breach arising by operation of law, and clear express words must be used in order to rebut this presumption.

Eastham v Leigh London and Provincial Properties Ltd
“
That is not, in my judgment, a condition precedent to the contract at all, it is part of the terms of the contract. You may call it a condition if you please, but it does not make it a condition precedent to the existence of a contract, it merely indicates that it is part of the terms of the bargain, just as in all contracts for sale the terms of the bargain are customarily described as conditions of sale.

Sudbrook Trading Estate Ltd v Eggleton
“
The true distinction is between those cases where the mode of ascertaining the price is an essential term of the contract, and those cases where the mode of ascertainment, though indicated in the contract, is subsidiary and non-essential�see Fry on Specific Performance (6th Edition) paragraphs 360, 364.

Bell v Lever Bros Ltd
“
There are certain contracts expressed by the law to be contracts of the utmost good faith where material facts must be disclosed; if not the contract is voidable. Apart from special fiduciary relationships contracts for partnership and contracts of insurance are the leading instances. In such cases the duty does not arise out of contract; the duty of a person proposing an insurance arises before a contract is made; so of an intending partner.
