Anticipatory Repudiation of contract and Mitigation Duty-Based on the fact of common law-

When the time of the contract performance is due, one party positively states that he or she will not substantially perform a contract; the issue of anticipatory repudiation will come into being. In such as this case, whether or not it is permissible to the injured party to demand the contract performance from the denying party. The direct compensation could be obtained under German, American, British and UNIDROIT, in that condition, the injured party gained the benefit through that compensation. We should bear in mind also the injured party possesses the other option whereas he or she can demand the contract performance whenever the relevant time is due. However, if the contract subject is movable or manufactured commodities as it was mentioned above the injured party has two options, i.e. immediate demand to be compensated regarding to (damages), second delaying his or her reaction until the performance is became due (fulfillment), in that situation the conflicts between those options could be occurred, since the movable or manufactured commodities enjoy changeable value. This essay depicts about the legal principle of repudiation, exams anticipatory of repudiation and creditor's duty to mitigate which affected the other regulations such as German and UNIDROIT. Eventually the implications of Korean civil law at the recent subject matter will be under analytical view as the conclusion of this study.
