Nature of republication Publication was a declaration by the testator to the witnesses that the Will was theirs. The process of publication of a Will is no longer necessary. Section 13 of the Wills Act 1837 (WA 1837) provides: ‘Every Will executed in manner herein-before required, shall be valid without any other publication thereof.’ Revival and republication of a Will serve different purposes. Revival restores a revoked Will or codicil. Where a testator has revoked their Will and they wish to revive that Will, they may write out the revoked Will again and execute it in accordance with WA 1837, s 9 (see WA 1837, s 22). On the other hand, republication just confirms an unrevoked testamentary instrument. The use of the term republication has been subject to criticism. Lord Porte in Berkeley referred to it as 'an expression now meaningless, but still unhappily in use'. Republication methods Republication is possible by two methods: express or constructive republication. Express republication Express republication takes place where a testator re-executes their Will, with the necessary formalities

This Practice Note concerns repudiation and sets out what a repudiatory breach of contract means. It explains how a repudiatory breach goes to the core of the contract and the options or remedies available to an innocent party as a result of the other party’s repudiation, which include either accepting the repudiatory breach and treating the contract as ended, or affirming the contract. This Practice Note explains the meaning of an anticipatory breach of contract and considers when that may also be a repudiatory breach. Termination for repudiatory breach is a common law right and a complex area of law, well documented with cases. If a party is seeking to terminate a contract for another party’s repudiatory breach the advice is to proceed with caution. It is not a risk-free strategy for termination, and each case should be evaluated on its own facts. Where a party purports to terminate a contract for the repudiatory breach of another party and the circumstances turn out not to amount to a repudiation, the act of termination could mean that the terminating

Repudiation of a contract occurs where one party communicates to the other (through words or conduct) that they no longer intend to be bound by it, usually by committing a major breach of a significant obligation in the contract. The innocent party can then decide whether to: • elect to continue the contract and seek to enforce performance and/or claim damages (see Practice Notes: Specific performance of property agreements and Contractual damages—general principles), or • accept repudiation and treat the contract as at an end (known as rescission or discharge for breach). Both parties are discharged from further performance of the contract and the innocent party can sue for damages caused by the repudiation. There must be clear and unequivocal acceptance of the breach. Mere inactivity or acquiescence is generally not sufficient For guidance on ending a contract by serving notice to complete, see Practice Note: Notice to complete. Repudiatory breach To be repudiatory, the breach must go to the root of the contract. Its effect must be to: • deprive the innocent party of substantially

A repudiatory breach is a breach of contract that goes to the very core of the contract and gives the innocent party the right to treat the contract as being disregarded and entitling the innocent party to refuse to be bound by its terms.
