Guthrie Caterers failed to turn up as contracted to cater Dev and Rabinda's wedding reception. The deposit, which was the only money paid to that point, was returned by courier the next morning without comment. If Guthrie had called a week before the wedding, this would have been a breach de minimis of the contract.

Question
