LaTisha contracted with Marco, who operates a farm in Guatemala, for the importation of some great coffee beans for her coffee shop. The contract provided that Marco would be sure the coffee arrived by September 1st, in time for an open house LaTisha had planned. LaTisha was not worried because Marco had always delivered on a timely basis in the past. Marco was busy and was late getting the beans in transit. The beans did not arrive until September 2nd. LaTisha shipped them back and refused to pay. Marco sued. What is LaTisha 's best defense?

Since the coffee beans arrived on September 2 instead of on September 1, LaTisha's best defense would be breach of a legally binding contract by Marco. Marco failed without, any legal excuse, to deliver the products as promised. Marco violated the legal agreement between the two parties since he did not perform his obligation.
