   Generally when ever a contract is made, it gives rise
    to rights and obligations between the parties.

   When both the parties perform their obligation, the
    contract is said to be performed and is treated as
    „Terminated‟.

   But if any one of the parties to a contract does not
    fulfill its contractual obligation, it is called „Breach
    of Contract‟.
   A contract creates certain obligations that are to be
    followed by the people who entered into the agreement.

   In the eyes of law, a party‟s failure to fulfill the
    contractual obligation is known as „Breach of Contract.‟
   A Breach can occur when a party fails to perform on
    time, does not perform in accordance with the terms of
    the agreement, or does not perform at all.
   In case of breach of contract the party who does
    not perform his obligation is called „Defaulting
    Party‟ .

   Where as the other party who was interested in
    the performance of the contract is called
    „Aggrieved Party‟
   Actual Breach of Contract

   Anticipatory Breach of Contract
   When a party to a contract refuses or fails to
    perform his part of the contract at the time fixed
    for the performance of that contract, it is known as
    „Actual Breach of Contract‟.
   When one party to a contract shows its intention
    not to perform the contract before the contract
    becomes due is called „Anticipatory Breach of
    Contract‟.
1.Exoneration from Performance/ Cancellation/
  Rescission
 If a party to a contract breaches the contract, then
  the aggrieved party may treat the contract as
  terminated.
 In such a case, he is absolved of further obligations
  under the contract.
   When the aggrieved party who wants to cancel
    the contract gives or has given his express or
    implied confirmation to the contract.

   When without the fault of any party, the
    circumstances have changed in such a way, that
    it becomes impossible to perform the obligation
    in the given time.
2. Claim for Damages:

 The  aggrieved party can file a case against the
  defaulting party for the loss suffered by him due to
  breach of contract.

 This is   also known as „Compensation of Damages‟.

 The  amount of compensation always depend upon
  the facts of the case and the level of loss incurred.
3. Claim for Quantum Meruit:
 The   term Quantum Meruit literally means “As much
  as earned”.
 In other words we can say the payment in the
  proportion to the amount of „work done‟ or
  remuneration according to the work done.
 If a person has done some work for another in
  pursuance of a contract which ha since been
  discharged by the latter‟s wrongful breach. He may
  obtain reasonable compensation for his work by suing
  him on the basis of Quantum Meruit.
   If a person delivers something to another
    person not with the intention to enter into
    contract, but other person enjoys the benefit
    thereof, then he becomes bound to make
    compensation.

   Further, if there is a contract to do work for a
    lump sum, payable only after the completion
    of the work, no action can be brought on the
    basis of Quantum Meruit.
4. Claim for Specific Performance:

 Specificperformance is an order by the court upon
 the party guilty of breach of contract directing him
 to perform what he promised to do.

 Thisorder is issued by the court when it seems that
 damages are not an adequate remedy, so the court
 can ask for specific performance under Specific
 Relief Act, 1963.
5. Claim for Injunction

 According  to Sec 42 of the specific Relief Act,
 injunction is another form of specific performance.

 This
     is a negative order of the court through which
 one person does something which he had promised
 not to do, the court by issuing an order may
 prohibit him from doing so.
   The term damages implies the monetary
    compensation for the loss suffered by the
    aggrieved party as a result of breach of
    contract by other party

   But the debatable question is that what
    amount an aggrieved party may claim from
    the defaulting party!
   Compensation for loss:     In case of breach of
    contract aggrieved party may ask for compensation
    for loss.

   Efforts to use resources for minimizing the loss:
    According to Sec 73, it is the duty of the aggrieved
    party, in case of breach of contract to make efforts
    to minimize the loss .
   Compensation where Penalty stipulated:
    According to sec 74, if the amount of penalty
    has already been determined, in case of
    breach of contract, in such case the aggrieved
    gets the right to recover that amount.
   Ordinary Damages: These are the normal losses
    which arise because of breach of contract.

   Special Damages: In some special circumstances
    the aggrieved party can claim for direct as well as
    indirect damages, only if the defaulting party is
    aware of such special circumstances.
   Exemplary or vindictive or punitive damages: This
    is the amount charged to punish the guilty party
    for the breach.
   Stipulated penality or Liquidated damages:
   Liquidated damages means a sum fixed at the time of
    contracting, which is fair and genuine pre-estimation of
    the probable loss that is likely to result from the breach of
    contract.

   The amount of Penality is that amount which is not
    concerned with the amount of actual loss occurring due
    to Breach of Contract. Penality means a sum fixed at the
    time of entering into contract, which is extravagant in
    amount in comparison to the greatest loss due to Breach. It
    is a kind of punishment.
   Interest as damage
