Termination Vs Cancellation Explained

Summary

Under Ethiopian law, termination and cancellation of contracts have distinct meanings. Termination ends a contract due to breach or mutual agreement, possibly with compensation, while cancellation voids it from the start due to illegality or misunderstanding. Employment contract termination notice periods vary by service length, while construction contracts depend on contract terms or require reasonable notice. Notices should be served to specified addresses or principal business locations. Construction contracts need two witnesses, and witnesses are also required for real estate, marriage, donation, and will contracts.
