The plaintiff's termination was unlawful because the architect was not properly appointed to issue the clause 25 notice, the notice did not specify the pleaded ground, and the defendant had not wholly suspended works but had slowed progress in response to the plaintiff's unjustified withholding of payments; accordingly the plaintiff wrongfully repudiated the contract and the defendant is entitled to damages and interest.
