How can a contractual dispute arise?
Occasionally, a party that has formed a contractual relationship may breach its obligations, which can result in needing experienced contract dispute solicitors. Contractual disputes can arise for many reasons, including:
- Breach of contract – a party may have breached a condition of the contract which means the purpose of the agreement can no longer be fulfilled
- Fraud – a party may have made assurances or agreements which you relied upon, and persuaded you to enter the arrangement, but those are now clear to have been misrepresentations
- Frustration – an uncontrollable and unforeseen event may occur, which means the purpose of the contract cannot be fulfilled, and this has put you, and potentially other parties subject to the contract, at a loss
- Technical understanding – a party may disagree over the meaning of a technical term in the contract which may create problems within and relationship
Can contract dispute solicitors help with resolution?
In the event of a breach of contract, the party that has suffered a loss or harm, as a result, can usually claim many remedies. These include:
- Damages – this monetary award is designed to put the injured party into the position they were in before the contract
- Injunction – a court can order a party to either perform an action or refrain from performing an action
- Specific performance – a party must perform a positive action to rectify an issue
- Rescission – one party is allowed to effectively cancel the contract, and everybody affected is returned to the position they were before it was agreed
