Contractual Performance And Remedies
Summary
The conversation covers various aspects of contract law, including substantial performance, anticipatory repudiation, and remedies under UCC Article 2. Substantial performance is when a contractor fulfills the essential purpose of a contract despite minor deviations. In Texas, anticipatory repudiation allows the non-breaching party to file a lawsuit immediately. Remedies like rescission and reformation are available for voidable contracts or clerical errors. Liquidated damages are enforceable if they are reasonable and related to actual damages. Arbitration and mediation are discussed as alternative dispute resolution methods, with arbitration being more adversarial and mediation promoting effective relationships. The Federal Arbitration Act encourages arbitration, and courts may enforce arbitration provisions unless there is bias or procedural unfairness.Full Conversation
