George buys a van from Fantastic Car to transport furniture from factories to customers. He tells Fantastic Car that he requires a van able to carry a load up to 50 tonnes in weight. Fantastic Car suggests a suitable van and George buys it. On the next day, George loads it with 45 tonnes of furniture but the van breaks down. He discovers that the van supplied by Fantastic Car is only designed to carry a maximum weight of 30 tonnes. This causes George to suffers losses as he needs to find an alternative to transport the furniture. Analyze whether George is entitled to repudiate the contract with Fantastic Car.
