Synopsis:
Contractual relations are fundamental to business relationships. But from time-to-time breaches occur. When breaches occur, important decisions need to be made. The remedies that are available for a breach of contract are critical in assessing the best way to enforce rights, manage risk, and compensate parties for losses as a result of a breach of contract.
Knowledge of the available remedies is also important at the front end - it can assist in negotiating favourable terms and limiting liability when drafting contracts.
When bringing or facing a claim for a breach or a potential breach of contract, a key consideration will be what remedies are available and how this might impact your client. This Paper explores the available monetary damages, enforcing performance and the use of injunctions.
Josh Suyker shares insights around the key issues that you need to be mindful of this in this area. You’ll gain practical tips, and learn valuable lessons from recent cases. What is discussed will help you to assist your clients when they are faced with contentious contractual matters.
These Materials will help you:
- Learn what remedies (monetary and non-monetary) are available for breaches of contract;
- Draw insights from recent case law; and
- Develop your strategic understanding of how to approach breach of contract cases.
Intended Audience:
This session is ideal for general practitioners, commercial lawyers, in-house counsel, and litigators (in the context of understanding how these cases are enforced or challenged in court).
