Pursuing Claims for Breach of Contract in Mississippi

When you pursue a breach of contract claim, you may seek compensation for your damages suffered from a material breach of contract by the other party or equitable remedies, such as specific performance so that the other party is compelled by the court to satisfy the terms of the contract.  If you are seeking damages, you may be entitled to the benefit of your bargain (i.e. lost profits) or consequential damages that the other party knew or should have known you would incur if the contract was breached.  Specific performance can ensure that you are compensated for losses when you cannot be made whole with money damages.  When you plan to buy a unique plot of land because of its location and characteristics, for example, we may be able to pursue the remedy of specific performance so that the other party is compelled to complete the sale.
