In what circumstances will a contract be repudiated?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from TSCC 2130 v York Bremner Developments Limited, 2016 ONSC 5393 (CanLII):

Similarly, in AIC Limited v. Infinity Investment Counsel Ltd., 1998 CanLII 7783 (F.C.), Rothstein J. (as he then was) held at para 42: Of course, it is not every attempt to change a contract that will be characterized as repudiation. In the case of changes to an agreement already reached, it is only where one of the parties insists on the exclusion of terms agreed upon or the inclusion of terms not agreed upon that repudiation may arise. [Emphasis added.]
