Answer: In this case, Slimline would win the case because Distributor's conduct and less inclination towards the product is breach of the contract. Therefore Slimline sued Distributor, alleging a violation of the agreement.

Hence, in this case Slimline is more likely to win the case as it was asked of the distributor to use reasonable efforts to promote and sell Slimline's diet drink.
