Understanding Your Contract Dispute
Contract law comes with terms that aren't always obvious. Below are some of the terms you may come across during a contract dispute:
- Breach of Contract – when one party fails to meet the obligations they agreed to under the terms of a contract.
- Material Breach – a serious failure to perform that defeats the core purpose of the agreement and may allow the other party to end the contract and seek damages.
- Damages – the monetary compensation awarded to the party harmed by a breach, meant to cover the losses they suffered.
- Specific Performance – a court order requiring the breaching party to actually carry out their end of the agreement, used when money alone can't make things right.
- Liquidated Damages – a set amount of compensation written into the contract in advance, to be paid if a specific breach occurs.
- Rescission – the cancellation of a contract, which returns both parties to the position they were in before the agreement was made.
