Legal Remedies for Breach of Contract in Nepal

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.

Recognizing legal persons promotes justice, accountability, and efficiency in both public and private sectors.
