On June 1, Gilliаn (Generаl Cоntrаctоr) and Samantha (Subcоntractor) entered into a contract under which Samantha agreed to deliver all of the steel joists that Gillian required in the construction of a hospital building. The contract provided that delivery of the steel joists would begin on September 1. Although Gillian had no reason to doubt Samantha’s ability to perform, Gillian wanted to be sure that Samantha was on track for delivery in September. Gillian therefore wrote a letter on July 1 to Samantha demanding that Samantha provide assurance of her ability to meet the September 1 deadline. Samantha refused to provide such assurance. Gillian then immediately obtained the steel joists from another supplier.If Samantha sues Gillian for breach of contract, is Samantha likely to prevail?
