ABSTRACT
Remedies for Breach of Contract The right to end the contract for breach. When there is a breach o f contract a by one party the reaction o f the other party is very often to wish to th row up the whole contract and refuse to carry out his part . The ord inary remedy for breach o f contract is, however, damages (below), and i t is only in exceptional cases that a party may under the ord inary law br ing a contract to an end because i t has been broken. If , for example, the employer is late in paying on an in ter im certificate, the contractor may not be inclined to do further w o r k for which he may fear the employer w i l l not be able to pay h i m , but generally he must carry on w i t h the w o r k and merely sue the employer for the payment due; only in some exceptional cases may he end the contract (see below).
