A contract stipulated that the seller would deliver goods to the buyer on a specified date, but the seller failed to deliver, leading the buyer to seek damages for breach. The court, ruling on appeal, found that the lower court erred in finding the seller in breach based solely on the scheduled delivery date, reasoning that the contract did not explicitly state that time was of the essence, meaning that a mere delay, absent a formal notice to perform or proof of material prejudice resulting from the delay, did not automatically constitute a breach justifying termination or damages.
