Wedding Photographer No Show

Summary

A wedding photographer not showing up is a material breach of contract, as it undermines the contracts core purpose. Using cheaper materials than agreed upon is a minor breach, allowing for compensation for the value difference. In South Africa, informing a party in advance of non-performance is an anticipatory breach, allowing contract termination or performance insistence. Delivering 98 out of 100 units with a promise to deliver the rest soon may not be a breach if the delay is minor and doesnt affect the contracts purpose.
