Frequently Asked Questions — Breach of Contract

What is a breach of contract?

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfil their contractual obligations without a lawful excuse. Breaches can be actual (failure to perform by the due date), anticipatory (repudiation before performance is due), or partial (defective performance).

What remedies are available for breach of contract?

Remedies include: specific performance (court orders the breaching party to perform), damages (monetary compensation for losses), injunction (prevents breach or compels performance), quantum meruit (reasonable compensation for work done), and rescission (contract cancelled and parties restored to original position).

What is the limitation period for filing a breach of contract suit?

The limitation period for breach of contract is 3 years from the date of breach under the Limitation Act, 1963. It is crucial to act within this period, as the court will dismiss a suit filed after the limitation period.

What is specific performance of contract?

Specific performance is a court order compelling the breaching party to fulfil their contractual obligations. It is granted when monetary damages are inadequate, such as in real estate transactions where the property is unique. The court considers whether the plaintiff has performed their part and is ready and willing to perform.

Can I terminate a contract for breach by the other party?

Yes. If the breach is material (goes to the root of the contract), you can terminate the contract under Section 39 of the Contract Act. You can also claim damages for the breach. If the breach is minor, you may need to perform your obligations and claim damages instead of terminating.
