Fact Summary

With J (wedding chapel), O (florist) had a 5-year requirement contract and in the last 3 years O sold J 300-1,500 roses per year. Then, with 2 years remaining, J anticipatorily repudiated the contract for financial problem.

A (event hall) emailed O an order for 1,000 white stems to O without specifying price or type. A expected roses but O instead sent orchids which are the only available “white stems” then and A accepted them without inquiry about substitutes. O billed A twice that of roses and A refused to pay.
