Judgment by:
Murphy J

The proper finding is that the appellants did not repudiate their obligations. I agree substantially with the Chief Justice's reasons, although adhering to what I said about essential breach in D.T.R. Nominees Pty. Ltd. v. Mona Homes Pty. Ltd. (1978) 138 CLR 423 , at p 436 . 

The appeal should be allowed.
