5e. Defenses to contract formation
A party may escape its obligations under a contract if it can prove, for example, [blank_start]fraud[blank_end], lack of [blank_start]legal capacity[blank_end] (if one of the parties was a minor or insane), [blank_start]duress[blank_end] (being forced to enter into the agreement by the threat or use of force or other pressure), or [blank_start]undue influence[blank_end] (e.g. if a person was persuaded to sign a contract detrimental to that person’s interests).
Such contracts are not necessarily [blank_start]void[blank_end] or of no legal effect, but may be [blank_start]voidable[blank_end] (or avoided at the election of the minor or mentally incompetent person), which means the contract remains valid unless legitimately declared void.- Afraud

8The end of the life of a contract
In legal English, there are a number of terms that indicate the end of the life of a contract. Some are synonyms, others have different meanings.
[blank_start]Expiration[blank_end] is used when a contract has come to the end of its natural life as expressly set out in the contract itself.
[blank_start]Termination[blank_end] typically refers to the ending of a contract. This may occur through the mutual consent of the parties even before the contract anticipated expiration date.
[blank_start]Cancellation[blank_end] puts an end to whatever remains to be performed under the contract, usually because the contract has been breached, or a party is in default.
[blank_start]Rescission[blank_end] refers to the right of the parties to be returned to the status quo, i.e. to the position they were in before they entered into the contract.
[blank_start]Repudiation[blank_end] (or anticipatory breach) refers to a party’s refusal to perform under the contract.
[blank_start]Caveat[blank_end]: Although some of the terms above may be used interchangeably in some jurisdictions, other jurisdictions may attribute different meanings to the terms, which may then trigger different legal consequences.- AExpiration

- CCancellation
- DRescission
- ERepudiation
- FCaveat

10LIQUIDATED DAMAGES - DAMAGES - MITIGATION - REMEDY - CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES/SPECIAL DAMAGES
If a party breaches a contract and the non-breaching party suffers a loss, the latter may file a claim for breach of contract and seek a [blank_start]remedy[blank_end] such as monetary compensation or [blank_start]damages[blank_end]. The non-breaching party has a duty to [blank_start]mitigate[blank_end] the loss, i.e. to limit the amount of damage the breach causes. [blank_start]Liquidated damages[blank_end] are a fíxed sum agreed by the parties to be payable on a breach of contract by the breaching party to compensate the non- breaching party. [blank_start]Consequential damages[blank_end], also known as [blank_start]special damages[blank_end], are damages which do not arise directly from the breach but from the consequences of that breach.- Adamages
- Bremedy
- Cmitigate
- DLiquidated damages
- EConsequential damages
- Fspecial damages
11If the breach was [blank_start]material[blank_end], the contract may be terminated. If the plaintiff prevails in an action against the defendant for breach of contract, the court may [blank_start]award[blank_end] damages, or, under special circumstances, order non-monetary [blank_start]equitable remedies[blank_end] (UK/US) such as [blank_start]specific performance[blank_end] (whereby the defendant is ordered to fulfill his or her obligations under the contract), or issue an [blank_start]injunction[blank_end], i.e. order a party to do or refrain from doing a particular act. Note that in the US, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which applies to contracts for the sale of goods, employs different terminology in some circumstances.

[blank_start]Indemnity[blank_end]: Obligation to compensate someone, or the compensation provided to someone for loss, damage, or expense.
[blank_start]Voidable[blank_end]: The contract appears to be enforceable but in fact suffers from some defect that entitles one or both parties to rescind the contract or have it declared unenforceable by a court.- AConsideration
- BIndemnity
- CVoidable
