Your Legal Options Explained

If someone breaks a contract (fails to do what they promised), you have legal remedies. These include:

• Damages: A claim for financial loss you suffered.
• Specific performance: Asking the court to force the other party to do what was agreed.
• Cancellation: Ending the contract if the breach is serious.
  Your choice of remedy depends on the nature of the breach and what was agreed upon. You must also prove the breach and any loss suffered.
