Remedies for breach of contract in Nepal provide legal recourse when a party fails to fulfill contractual duties. The National Civil Code, 2017 outlines solutions such as damages, specific performance, injunctions, restitution, and the doctrine of unjust enrichment. Victims can choose formal court actions or alternative dispute resolution methods like arbitration or mediation. These remedies uphold fairness, ensure justice, and protect the rights of aggrieved parties. Whether you're seeking compensation, cancellation, or equitable enforcement, understanding these remedies helps maintain trust and accountability in contractual relationships in both commercial and personal contexts.

Understanding Legal Personality in Nepal’s Civil Code

Understanding Legal Personality in Nepal’s Civil Code

The concept of legal personality is central to civil law, allowing entities like corporations and institutions to hold rights and obligations separate from their members. Under Nepal’s Muluki Civil Code 2074, legal personality empowers bodies corporate to own property, enter contracts, and be liable independently. Sections 42–53 comprehensively define incorporation procedures, corporate powers, liabilities, and special provisions for merger and conflict of interest. Recognizing legal persons promotes justice, accountability, and efficiency in both public and private sectors.
