I. Jim and Njekwa contract to sell their house in Rhodes Park, to Inno and Kate. Kate thinks that the decorative chandelier in the entryway is lovely and gives the house an immediate appeal. The chandelier was a gift from Njekwa's mother, "to enhance the entryway" and provide "a touch of beauty" for Jim and Njekwa's house. Inno and Kate assume that the chandelier will stay, and nothing specific is mentioned about the chandelier in the contract for sale. Inno and Kate are shocked when they move in and find the chandelier is gone. Have Jim and Njekwa breached their contract of sale?
