Breach of Contract: Understanding Legal Remedies in Pakistan
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. Pakistani law, like other common law systems, provides several remedies for such situations under the Contract Act, 1872.
Remedies include damages, specific performance, injunction, and rescission of the contract. Damages can be ordinary, special, or in the form of a penalty. Specific performance and injunctions are granted at the discretion of the court.
However, seeking these remedies involves intricate legal procedures. It requires understanding the nature of the contract, the type of breach, and the most suitable remedy. For instance, specific performance is usually awarded in cases where damages are not an adequate remedy, like in the sale of a unique property.
