Document Summary
Chapter 13 breach of contract and its remedies. The non-breaching party can sue for damages and there is possibility of discharge. As long as the non-breaching party hasn"t received any benefits then the contract may be discharged (or if they learned about the breach before benefits were received) There can be a minor breach or a major breach: major breach purpose of the contract is defeated, minor breach breach in non-essential term or breach in essential term in minor respect. One party renders performance impossible: i. e. you promise to sell me your ferrari for ,000 but joe comes along and buys it for. You breached our contract because you can no longer sell the car to me. Mistakes in performance: if you accidentally pay the wrong person money they are responsible for returning justice, if for some reason the lucky person can"t repay the benefits, then the mistaken party has to perform again.
