Finally, in the next section, we use the term “failure of refusal,” in the broadest sense, to supplement all the reasons for ending the common law, not just one of the reasons – waiver – to which some authors limit the term. Under English law, there is no general obligation for parties negotiating a contract to disclose information to each other. In certain circumstances, for example, the silence of one party will be reduced to a false presentation if it delivers only half of the truth that leads to the deception of the other party. If this is the case, the contract may be revoked due to a misrepresentation as above. It is more difficult to prove liability for pure secrecy, as the applicant must demonstrate that the other party has a positive obligation to provide the relevant information. This obligation may arise from the specific nature of the contract (for example. B insurance contracts) or the relationship between the parties. B, for example agents and beneficiaries. The termination of a contract involves the termination of the contract before both parties have complied with their obligations under the terms of the contract. There are many reasons why a party can terminate a contract. The question of when and how the contract will be terminated will determine whether one of the parties is responsible for the breach of contract prior to termination. If the parties to a business contract agree to terminate by reference to these conditions, are they in a position to do so? Section 2 (1) of the Misrepresentation Act of 1967 provides for recovery when a person has entered into a contract on the basis of misrepresentation.
These are false statements of negligence, and even totally innocent misrepresentations, and there is no need to prove fraud. However, as mentioned above, if the misrepresentation is not fraudulent, the court may decide to declare the contract as subsisting. Under Section 2 (2), it may award damages, but these will, in accordance with the existence of the contract, be deferred to the contractual measure. The right to “end” the common law is disoriented by difficulties in definition and inconsistencies. Strictly speaking, “end” means that the contract is “unloaded.” In other words, the parties` future and unsealed commitments will disappear. The treaty continues to exist. On the contrary, where the innocent party chooses to regard its obligations as an objective, the party`s primary obligation to the offence is repaid by secondary damages obligations for the damage caused by the breach. References to termination in this manual are to termination in this strict sense. You can terminate a contract if you and the other party have a prior written agreement requiring termination of the contract for a specific reason.
The usual name for this type of provision is a break clause. The agreement must give details of what is considered to be the reason for the termination of the contract. It should also indicate the measures necessary for one of the parties to terminate the contract. In most cases, one party must submit a written notification of termination of the contract to the other party.
