Answer 1

Kids' Corner, a toy store, ordered a supply of stuffed toys from Toyland Inc. The toys were supposed to be delivered on the 1st of December but were sent to Kids' Corner on the 5th of December. There has been a(n) _____ of contract.  

A. compensatory breach

B. anticipatory breach

C. material breach

D. concurrent breach

Correct Option:

There has been a material breach  of contract.

Option: C

Explanation:

A contract law concept that applies to a non-performance under the contract that is sufficiently serious to give the grieved party the right to sue for contravention of the contract, is understood as a material break or infringement.

If a substantive violation has occurred, the aggrieved party is therefore deprived of a contractual duty to further results. Here the Kids' Corner toy store ordered a supply of stuffed toys from Toyland Inc. but received order in delay date, which is considered as material breach due to late delivery of expected material.
