Introduction
This question requires an examination of the law of contract and the nature of the subject matter that was contracted between the parties. Only Antonia and Jonathan are legally bound by and entitled to enforce the contract (Coulls v Bagot’s ) and may sue or be sued under the contract. The rights and obligations of Antonia and Jonathan depend on whether the contract has been validly terminated. If the contract validly terminated, all future obligation will be terminated, but obligations arising prior to termination remains intact. If this is not so, then the contract continues and the parties will still be under obligation to complete the contract and it would be possible for parties to sue for damages for non-performance.

An anticipatory breach is an indication that the party will not perform when performance is due or a situation in which future non-performance is inevitable (Lecture 2 Contract Law, p37 ).

Rachael Martinelli Case Study 8-2: The Outsourced Work 1. Is BE bound by the terms of the project labor agreement, which it did not directly sign, including the duty to submit this labor dispute to final and binding arbitration for resolution?
