How do you obtain a statement of intent from a breaching party? And if these are hard to obtain, does that mean most people trying to sue end up relying on anticipatory repudiation? And how does the non-breaching party do these usually? Is it a conversation or a document asking the breaching party to admit whether they will materially breach or not? I guess I am confused as to how anticipatory repudiation looks like in real life.  &#8212;  If you are a client, your lawyer will advise you to send a letter (normally &#8211; in old days &#8211; return receipt requested), detailing grounds for insecurity and asking for assurances.  In real life, people say, &#8220;Are you going to do what you promised?&#8221; Or &#8220;I\u2019m insecure, can you convince me that you will perform?&#8221;  Or, more often, a party says, \u201cF U, I\u2019m out of this contract. I don\u2019t ever want to do anything with you ever again.\u201d  Or \u201cYou broke your promise.  I\u2019m not going to do what I promised\u201d. This last one raises the question of who breached first.  That person is the breaching party.<br \/>\n2. What is adequate assurance of due performance under RST 2nd section 251? Illustrations 7 and 8 are clear, but is the obligor&#8217;s word (over the phone) sufficient assurance that he will perform?   &#8212;  Like all determinations of whether facts are sufficient to support a legal conclusion, such as the finding of &#8220;adequacy,&#8221; the answer must be &#8220;it depends.&#8221;  Given the situation, would a reasonable insecure party be assured?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20contractssyllabus33 _________ 1.
