Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, in an episode from our "Listen and Learn" series, we're talking about anticipatory repudiation, which is an often-tested issue both on the MBE and on Contracts essays.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What is anticipatory repudiation?
- What constitutes an "unequivocal communication"?
- Presenting a demand for adequate assurances of the contract's completion
- Rights and remedies available to the non-repudiating party
- Topics that anticipatory repudiation is tested alongside of
- Going through two hypos from bar exam Contracts essays
