There was no contractual or common law basis on which to conclude that RJG was estopped from exercising its right to terminate the contract in the face of Marine’s repudiation. The judge erred in concluding that RJG’s failure to strictly comply with the contractual provisions disqualified it from terminating the contract. However, the Québec Court of Appeal concluded that the theory of contractual repudiation as a result of the actions of one party cannot be accepted in employment law insofar as the end of the employment contract would thus be based on the tacit will of the employee. Repudiation occurs when one party breaches a term of a contract that is sufficiently important that the other party may treat the contract as being at an end and walk away from the contract. Repudiation is "a serious matter and is not to be lightly found" and requires a clear indication of the absence of readiness and willingness to perform the contract (Shevill v Builders Licensing Board (1982) 149 CLR 620). Whether repudiation has occurred is determined objectively.

The effect of accepting the repudiation is that the contract is terminated and the parties are discharged from future obligations. [14] This decision is another example of appellate courts in Canada sticking to the fundamental principles of contract law. The requirement that an acceptance of repudiation must be clearly made and clearly proven means that the wrongful party cannot benefit from its own wrongful conduct and induce a termination by its own repudiation.
