Vitol S.A. v JE Energy Ltd. [2022] EWHC 2494 (Comm) - This recent High Court decision allows us to revisit the concept of repudiatory breach. Facts Vitol were the sellers under a sale contract for the sale of 30,000 (+/- 10%) of fuel oil (the “Cargo”) to JE. The deal was recapped on 10 December 2019 (the “Deal Recap”), and the idea was that the Deal Recap would be later supplemented with fuller terms. Vitol sued JE for damages on the basis that JE had repudiated the contract.
