BREACH OF CONTRACT
1.

Breach Of Contract Occurs When



2.

Any party to the contract fails to perform his part of the contract
Any party to the contract makes it impossible for the other party to
perform his obligation under the contract

Breach of contract may occur in two ways –


Anticipatory Breach of Contract
o



A party declares his intention of not performing the contract
before the performance is due

Actual Breach of Contract
o

On Due Date of Performance

o

During the Course of Performance
BREACH OF CONTRACT


Protection of contractual expectations
is the primary purpose of law of
contract.



These expectations are met where
parties perform their respective
promises, but if any one party fails to
perform his obligations and breach the
contract, the law provides certain
remedies to the promise.
REMEDY


A legal remedy is a court order that seeks to uphold a
person‟s rights or to redress a breach of the law.



When one party breaches a contract, the other party may ask
a court to provide a remedy for the breach. The court may
order the breaching party to pay money to the non-breaching
party.
TYPES OF REMEDIES

SUIT FOR RESCISSION

SUIT FOR DAMAGES
SUIT FOR QUANTUM MERUIT
SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

SUIT FOR AN INJUNCTION


The term Rescission refers to the cancellation of contract.



In such cases, if one party has broken his contractual
relations, the other party may treat the breach as discharge
and refuse to perform his part of performance.



Thus in case of rescission of contract, the aggrieved or
injured party is discharged from all his obligations of the
contract.
UNDER FOLLOWING CASES THE COURT
MAY REFUSE TO GRANT RESCISSION


The parties cannot be restored to their original positions due to
changed circumstances.



The party(s) has acquired rights in good faith and value during
subsistence of contract.



Only a part of the contract is rescinded and this part can‟t be
separated from rest of the contract.



But if a person rightfully rescinded, he is entitled to compensation
for any damage which he has sustained through non fulfilment of
the contract by the other party.
EXAMPLES


'A' contracts to supply 10kg of tea leaves for Rs. 8,000 to
'B' on 15 June. If 'A' does not supply the tea leaves on the
appointed day, 'B' need not pay the price. 'B' may treat the
contract as rescinded and may sit quietly at home. 'B' may
also file a „suit for rescission‟ and claim damages



A promises B to supply 10 Bags of cement on a certain day.
B agrees to pay the price after the receipt of the goods. A
does not supply the goods. B is discharged from liability to
pay the price


Damages are a monetary compensation allowed to
the injured party for the loss or injury suffered by
him as a result of the breach of contract.



The fundamental principle underlying damages is
not punishment but to compensate the aggrieved
party for the loss suffered by him in the original
position as he would have been.
TYPES OF DAMAGES

There are
4 types of
damages:

• ORDINARY
• SPECIAL
• EXEMPLARY
• NOMINAL DAMAGES.
RULES REGARDING DAMAGES


The damages must naturally arise in the usual course of
things from such breach i.e. the damages must be the
proximate or direct consequence of the breach of contract.



The aggrieved party must have suffered damages by
breach of contract.



Damages are awarded to compensate the loss caused by a
party but not to punish the party at default for the breach of
contract.



Amount of damages can be decided at the time of
agreement by the mutual consent of both the parties.
EXAMPLES


Mr. Robin contracts to pay 3 lac to Mr. Peter on 1st April. Mr.
Robin does not pay the money on that day. Mr. Peter is
unable to pay her debts and suffer a loss. Mr. Robin is liable
to pay Mr Peter principal amount and also interest on it



If the machinery of any factory arrives late and due to this
reason one party suffers a loss or profits.


It means “AS MUCH AS EARNED” or “in proportion to the
work done.”



The phrase „Quantum Meruit‟ literally means



When a person has begun the work and before he could
complete it, the other party terminates the contract or does
something which make it impossible for the other party to
complete the contract, he can claim for the work done under
the contract so far party.
EXAMPLES


P agreed to write a volume on ancient armour to be published
in a magazine owned by C. For this, P was to receive 100
pounds on completion. When P had completed part of the
work, but not the whole, C abandoned the magazine. P was
held entitled to get damages for breach of contract and
payment quantum meruit for the part already completed.



A, engages B, a contractor, to build a three storied house.
After a part of the house is constructed, A prevents B from
working any more. B, the contractor, is entitled to get
reasonable compensation for work done under the doctrine of
quantum meruit in addition to the damages for breach of
contract.


Specific performance means the actual carrying out of the
contract as agreed.



Under certain circumstances an aggrieved party may file a
suit for specific performance, i.e., for a decree by the court
directing the defendant to actually perform the promise that
he has made.



Such a suit may be filed either instead of or in addition to a
suit for damages.
Cases Which Fall Under Specific
Performance





When the act agreed to be done is such that compensation in
money for its non-performance is not an adequate relief.
When there exists no standard for ascertaining the actual
damage caused by the non-performance of the act agreed to
be done.
When it is probable that the compensation in money cannot
be got for the non-performance of the act agreed to be done.
Specific Performance Will Not Be Granted
Where:






Damages are an adequate remedy
The contract is not certain, or is inequitable to either party
The contract is in its nature revocable
The contract is made by trustees in breach of their trust
The contract is of a personal nature E.g: contract to marry
EXAMPLES


A agrees to buy and B agrees to Sell a picture and two China
Vases . A may Compel B specifically to perform the Contract,
for there is no standard for ascertaining the actual damage
which would be caused by its non performance.



Mr. Tipu agrees to sell his house to Mr. Amir, who agrees to
purchase. But due to some reasons Mr. Tipu commits breach
. At the suit of Mr. Amir court may ask Mr. Tipu to carry out
the contract.


„Injunction‟ is an order of a court restraining a person from
doing a particular act.



It is a mode of securing the specific performance of the
negative terms of the contract.



To put it differently, where a party is in breach of negative
term of the contract (i.e., where he is doing something
which he promised not to do) the court may, by issuing an
injunction, restrain him from doing, what he promised not to
do.
EXAMPLES


A, a singer contracts with B the Manager of a theatre to
Sing at his theatre for one year and to abstain from Singing
at other theatres during the theatre. She absents herself , B
cannot compel A to sing at his theatre, but he may sue her
for an injunction restraining her from Singing at other
theatres .



G agreed to take the whole of his supply of electricity from
a certain company. The agreement was held to import a
negative promise that he would take none from elsewhere.
He was, therefore, restrained by an injunction from buying
electricity from any other company.
THANK
YOU…

Any party to the contract fails to perform his part of the contract Any party to the contract makes it impossible for the other party to perform his obligation under the contract Breach of contract may occur in two ways –  Anticipatory Breach of Contract o  A party declares his intention of not performing the contract before the performance is due Actual Breach of Contract o On Due Date of Performance o During the Course of Performance
  • 4. BREACH OF CONTRACT  Protection of contractual expectations is the primary purpose of law of contract.  These expectations are met where parties perform their respective promises, but if any one party fails to perform his obligations and breach the contract, the law provides certain remedies to the promise.
  • 5. REMEDY  A legal remedy is a court order that seeks to uphold a person‟s rights or to redress a breach of the law.  When one party breaches a contract, the other party may ask a court to provide a remedy for the breach. The court may order the breaching party to pay money to the non-breaching party.
  • 6. TYPES OF REMEDIES SUIT FOR RESCISSION SUIT FOR DAMAGES SUIT FOR QUANTUM MERUIT SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE SUIT FOR AN INJUNCTION
  • 7.  The term Rescission refers to the cancellation of contract.  In such cases, if one party has broken his contractual relations, the other party may treat the breach as discharge and refuse to perform his part of performance.  Thus in case of rescission of contract, the aggrieved or injured party is discharged from all his obligations of the contract.
  • 8. UNDER FOLLOWING CASES THE COURT MAY REFUSE TO GRANT RESCISSION  The parties cannot be restored to their original positions due to changed circumstances.  The party(s) has acquired rights in good faith and value during subsistence of contract.  Only a part of the contract is rescinded and this part can‟t be separated from rest of the contract.  But if a person rightfully rescinded, he is entitled to compensation for any damage which he has sustained through non fulfilment of the contract by the other party.
  • 9. EXAMPLES  'A' contracts to supply 10kg of tea leaves for Rs. 8,000 to 'B' on 15 June. If 'A' does not supply the tea leaves on the appointed day, 'B' need not pay the price. 'B' may treat the contract as rescinded and may sit quietly at home. 'B' may also file a „suit for rescission‟ and claim damages  A promises B to supply 10 Bags of cement on a certain day. B agrees to pay the price after the receipt of the goods. A does not supply the goods. B is discharged from liability to pay the price
  • 10.  Damages are a monetary compensation allowed to the injured party for the loss or injury suffered by him as a result of the breach of contract.  The fundamental principle underlying damages is not punishment but to compensate the aggrieved party for the loss suffered by him in the original position as he would have been.
  • 11. TYPES OF DAMAGES There are 4 types of damages: • ORDINARY • SPECIAL • EXEMPLARY • NOMINAL DAMAGES.
  • 12. RULES REGARDING DAMAGES  The damages must naturally arise in the usual course of things from such breach i.e. the damages must be the proximate or direct consequence of the breach of contract.  The aggrieved party must have suffered damages by breach of contract.  Damages are awarded to compensate the loss caused by a party but not to punish the party at default for the breach of contract.  Amount of damages can be decided at the time of agreement by the mutual consent of both the parties.
  • 13. EXAMPLES  Mr. Robin contracts to pay 3 lac to Mr. Peter on 1st April. Mr. Robin does not pay the money on that day. Mr. Peter is unable to pay her debts and suffer a loss. Mr. Robin is liable to pay Mr Peter principal amount and also interest on it  If the machinery of any factory arrives late and due to this reason one party suffers a loss or profits.
  • 14.  It means “AS MUCH AS EARNED” or “in proportion to the work done.”  The phrase „Quantum Meruit‟ literally means  When a person has begun the work and before he could complete it, the other party terminates the contract or does something which make it impossible for the other party to complete the contract, he can claim for the work done under the contract so far party.
  • 15. EXAMPLES  P agreed to write a volume on ancient armour to be published in a magazine owned by C. For this, P was to receive 100 pounds on completion. When P had completed part of the work, but not the whole, C abandoned the magazine. P was held entitled to get damages for breach of contract and payment quantum meruit for the part already completed.  A, engages B, a contractor, to build a three storied house. After a part of the house is constructed, A prevents B from working any more. B, the contractor, is entitled to get reasonable compensation for work done under the doctrine of quantum meruit in addition to the damages for breach of contract.
  • 16.  Specific performance means the actual carrying out of the contract as agreed.  Under certain circumstances an aggrieved party may file a suit for specific performance, i.e., for a decree by the court directing the defendant to actually perform the promise that he has made.  Such a suit may be filed either instead of or in addition to a suit for damages.
  • 17. Cases Which Fall Under Specific Performance    When the act agreed to be done is such that compensation in money for its non-performance is not an adequate relief. When there exists no standard for ascertaining the actual damage caused by the non-performance of the act agreed to be done. When it is probable that the compensation in money cannot be got for the non-performance of the act agreed to be done.
  • 18. Specific Performance Will Not Be Granted Where:      Damages are an adequate remedy The contract is not certain, or is inequitable to either party The contract is in its nature revocable The contract is made by trustees in breach of their trust The contract is of a personal nature E.g: contract to marry
  • 19. EXAMPLES  A agrees to buy and B agrees to Sell a picture and two China Vases . A may Compel B specifically to perform the Contract, for there is no standard for ascertaining the actual damage which would be caused by its non performance.  Mr. Tipu agrees to sell his house to Mr. Amir, who agrees to purchase. But due to some reasons Mr. Tipu commits breach . At the suit of Mr. Amir court may ask Mr. Tipu to carry out the contract.
  • 20.  „Injunction‟ is an order of a court restraining a person from doing a particular act.  It is a mode of securing the specific performance of the negative terms of the contract.  To put it differently, where a party is in breach of negative term of the contract (i.e., where he is doing something which he promised not to do) the court may, by issuing an injunction, restrain him from doing, what he promised not to do.
  • 21. EXAMPLES  A, a singer contracts with B the Manager of a theatre to Sing at his theatre for one year and to abstain from Singing at other theatres during the theatre. She absents herself , B cannot compel A to sing at his theatre, but he may sue her for an injunction restraining her from Singing at other theatres .  G agreed to take the whole of his supply of electricity from a certain company. The agreement was held to import a negative promise that he would take none from elsewhere. He was, therefore, restrained by an injunction from buying electricity from any other company.
