Remedies may include damages, specific performance when appropriate, or contract termination, depending on the governing agreement and circumstances.
A breach of a real estate purchase contract is the failure to fulfill contractual duties without a lawful excuse. In California and in San Fernando, courts assess the contract’s terms and applicable statutes to determine what relief is available.

These terms help you understand the process and communicate clearly with your attorney.
