Analysis of whether a breach of contract constitutes a breach of condition or warranty, and the justification for awarding damages.

Kojo Atua, a businessman, who had a contract to supply timber logs to Okofoh Timber Co.

Under the agreement, Kojo Atua paid a deposit of GH¢10,000.00. It is the case of Kojo Atua that Mary Arthur assured him that her tractor was in good condition and could haul at least 30 logs a day.
