The concept of substantial performance permits a party to be dicharged from a contract even though the party has not fully performed his or her obligations according to the contract's term.Is it fair?
Before you can find if the party is entitled to a recovery for the other parties breach of contract, I believe one should look and find out what the party accually performed from the contract, according to all of the particulars in the contract. Substanital performance implies that one of the parties has done work required of it, carefully and in good faith. Completing the work required of the contract (expected from them) in all materials, respects and having done so, then it should not be unreasonable not to rule infavor of the party that completed the work. In order for a substantial performance to occur there has been an approximation to complete performance that the owner obtains substationally. The other party in the performance must not have deprived the other party in any way other than the intend use of teh property. The issue of substantial performance can be raised in all types of contracts. Often construction contracts include substantial performance as a condition for payment. Because substantial performance is less than full performance, it does not completely discharge the duty to perform. When considering nominal damages in the context of substantial performance, it is important to know what level of deviation will still fall under substantial performance, and the extent, degree and value of the nonperformance. Performance that falls short of being labeled substantial may justify nonpayment but not cancellation of the contract. This chapter discusses substantial performance as a defense, and the method of pleading it.
