  • CA FoundationIndian Contract Act 1872 - remedies for breach of contract

    What are vindictive damages, nominal damages, suit for injunction and suit upon quantum meruit?

    BrunoAI answer

    These are remedies for breach of contract. In short: 1. Vindictive or exemplary damages: awarded to punish the defaulter, not just to compensate. They are rare in contracts. Two classic cases: breach of a promise to marry (injury to feelings), and a banker wrongfully dishonouring a customer's cheque when funds are sufficient (injury to reputation). 2. Nominal damages: a token amount, e.g. Re 1, given when there is a breach but no real loss. It simply recognises that the right was violated. 3. Suit for injunction: a court order stopping a party from doing what he promised not to do (a negative term). Example: Lumley v. Wagner, where a singer who agreed not to sing elsewhere was restrained from doing so. 4. Suit upon quantum meruit ("as much as earned"): a claim for reasonable payment for work already done. It applies when the other party ends the contract midway, the contract turns out void, or part performance is accepted.
