the aggrieved party and does not defeat the

repudiate the contract.

EXAMPLE:
X asked a car dealer to suggest him a good
car and while suggesting the car, the dealer
said that it could run for 20km per litre of
petrol. But the car could run only 15km per
litre of petrol. In this case the statement
made by the seller was a warranty. X was,

was entitle to claim the damages.
