ABC Clothiers, Inc., has a contract with Taylor & Sons, a
retailer, to deliver one thousand summer suits to Taylor’s place of
business on or before May 1. On April 1, Taylor receives a letter
from ABC informing him that ABC will not be able to make the
delivery as scheduled. Taylor is very upset, as he had planned a
big ad campaign. Can Taylor immediately sue ABC for breach of
contract (on April 2)? Suppose that Taylor’s son, Tom, tells his
father that they cannot file a lawsuit until ABC
actually fails
to deliver the suits on May 1. Who is correct, Taylor Senior or
Tom? Explain.
