Cyril made two contracts. The first was to have his house painted one month from the
date of the written contract. The second was for his neighbor's 1957 Ford Thunderbird.
Each contract was definite and clear in all respects. As to the house painting, Cyril
inquired with the painter as to when the work could begin. The painter explained that he
was extremely busy and was not sure if he could fulfill the contract. Cyril flew into a
rage and immediately hired someone else who painted the house, but at a higher price.
Cyril then sued the painter, claiming that there was an anticipatory repudiation of the
contract by the painter.With regard to the automobile purchase contract, after signing
the contract, the neighbor decided that she did not wish to sell her car and refused to
complete the transaction. Cyril attempted to purchase a similar car elsewhere, but the
car was a vintage automobile which was not available on the open market. Cyril sued
the neighbor for specific performance of the contract. Discuss the probable outcomes of
the lawsuits.
