This area covers the remedies available when a contract is broken in England. It includes the rules for pursuing damages, and when a court can grant specific performance or other equitable relief to enforce the contract. A solicitor practising in this field helps clients identify the most appropriate remedy, drafts pleadings, prepares evidence of loss, negotiates settlements, and, if needed, represents the client in proceedings in the County or High Court to obtain damages or an order for performance.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Damages are the primary remedy for most breaches, with the solicitor quantifying losses, reviewing mitigation steps, and advising on the availability of remedies such as liquidated damages. If monetary remedies are inadequate to protect the client’s interest, a solicitor may advance a claim for specific performance or an injunction, where appropriate. The solicitor also advises on cases where rescission, rectification, or declarative relief may be available, and handles the evidential and procedural steps required to pursue or defend a claim, including disclosure, witness evidence, and expert reports.
