What are some legal and equitable remedies available when a contract has been breached, and when are they applicable?

There are three types of Legal Remedies:\nThere types of damages:\n1. Expectancy - This is the most common remedy -- pay the person as much money as he would have had if the contract was not breached\n2. Reliance -- if the expectancy is not possible -- the court will impose Reliance damages -- return the person all the money that he has spend on reliance on the contract\n3. restitution -- if the person suffered extra harm as a result of the contract breach -- he may recover those expenses.\n\n\nEquitable remedies are rarely used for contact breaches. They may be used if there is no other way to compensate an Innocent party and also in the sale of unique objects and in the sale  of land.\nIn Equity there is only one remedy,: \nspecific performance  -- make the person perform the contact.

When you went and started the business knowing about the contract, you took a chance that they wouldn't find out about it. I guess they did.  You can try and prove the contract was under duress, but that's going to be next to impossible to prove, especially without a lawyer to advise you.\n\nContracts are legally binding in the US because without them, the economy would fall apart from corruption.  Good luck.

Three lawyers, and we agree on one critical thing: consult a lawyer in your area immediately.\n\nAnd - while I don't necessarily speak for my colleagues on this one - ignore the spammers offering "prepaid" legal advice.

Try the link below, it contains many solutions but if your concerned with "Loss of property , intellectual, etc. Loss through, fire, theft, etc." I'd suggest you may want to spend a buck and hire a consultant.

Well if you worked it out then you already violated the order.  But any ways, go to the court that issued the order - contact the Judge and ask him to resend the order

The statute of frauds says that a contract regarding the sale of land must be in writing to be enforceable.  That means that a verbal agreement is useless if one party or the other wants to not go through with it,  but would be enough if both parties wanted to. \nSo, there is no contract to enforce. The only thing you could do is go to court to get damages for the money you spent in reasonable anticipation of this contract happening, but you might not get that.

If you breach a contract by failing to pay the full amount due, but pay a lesser amount due, the damages suffered by the non breaching party are generally limited to the unpaid balance. It's uncontroversial...

Being a contractor, my position is that the extras asked for are a Change in the Work, thus additional time and money is warranted.\n\nIt is difficult to determine what the proper course of action is due to the lack of details.

Who gave the advice? I would seek legal advice, a solicitor can sort it for you or get some free advice from a bureau or advice surgery to see if it is possible for you do it yourself with the cost of a solicitor

First thing, talk to the manager, of the real estate business. If they can't resolve the issue, I would report it to the Better Business Bureau. It wouldn't hurt, to tell\nwhat happened, to a lawyer.

When you buy a product from a company, you have statutory rights that protect you from buying faulty products. You must insist on a full refund from the shop. If you accept the partial offer, you will waive all your rights. Do not allow them to bully you. The law says that they must either replace faulty goods or refund you in full. \nIf you cannot resolve this with the shop, you should contact the local authority trading standards department who I can assure you will have nothing better to do and will work your case with full gusto.\nAnother option for you is, BBC.co.uk/watchdog.\nWhen the manager of the shop phones you, inform them that you will use these options. You should find them more compliant. Good luck and let me know how you get on.

What you are telling is a breach of contract and not a theft.\nIt is better if you engage a lawyer in India and issue the compmpany a notice for recovery.\nIf the reply given by company is not found satsfactory by you, you can file a suit in the court of law, through\nadvocate.\nIf you need any help please contact on my email address, so that I would be able to engage a lawyer for you.

Remember fraud and thievery have been around for a long time. No law can prevent these from happening. All it can do is to catch the thieves and punish them. If you look at Enron, Worldcom etc., the law worked. May be we should look at instilling a sense of honesty and integrity in present and future leaders of business.\n\nSarbox is fine. Those who cry "overregulation" want to dilute it.\n\ncc

If its not working correctly take it back for your money or an exchange (Sale of Goods Act).\n\nYour contract is with the shop not the manufacturers (Donogue v Stevenson 1932).\n\nMakes me very lived that shop keeps do not know the law and they trade!

I wouldn't bother taking it to court. There's no way to prove that it happened unless the person is honest enough to say that he did make a verbal contract with you and he didn't follow through with it. I doubt that will happen, though. You really should have made a contract on paper.

This will depend on the law of the jurisdiction where these events occurred.  Normally, the statue of frauds would apply and not let you enforce an agreement that was not signed, regardless of whether or not there was an oral agreement to sign the contract or complete the contract.  In some jurisdictions, while you would not be able to force the buyer to sell the house, you might be able to claim damages for breach of the oral contract, assuming you could prove damages.  In this case, I think the damages would be difficult to prove, unless you could show specific costs or expenses you incurred in reliance on the oral promise to complete and deliver the signed contract.
