That’s because time is not of the essence in respect of obligations to pay unless it’s expressly stated, or it’s drawn from the circumstances of the contract. In business contracts, " Survival of Terms clauses" state which provisions continue in force after the contract ends.

There is a murder, a rather bizarre murder, and it was clear to me early on who did it. But the why of it, which was dribbled out in tantalizing bits, kept me glued.

Matt has nothing to do with it, but... Duff is his best friend and the other guy is beating him hard. Ergo, Matt has to do something: Let’s say you have a series of minor breach of contract, whether of warranties or innominate terms. Do they all add up to a repudiatory breach?

The contractor knew that his work for the company was being paid for on time (by the ultimate customer). He made it clear he knew that he was being used as an overdraft facility. Ellie’s successful and happily single sister, Leonora, drops by unannounced for a visit. Leo hasn’t been in their childhood home in years because it doesn’t hold any pleasant memories for her after the horrible treatment she suffered at the hands of her stepmother. Ellie is happy to see her sister, and she’s glad to have a distraction around the house to get her mind off her troubles. Although I had the who and how figured out reasonably early on, there was enough going on to keep me interested - very interested. You really have to wonder about some families....
