Real estate sale

Law-of-obligations matters often turn on the source of the obligation, the wording of the agreement, performance records, notice requirements and the type of loss claimed.

Contracts

The parties, subject matter, form requirements, allocation of risk and termination provisions should be read together with mandatory rules.

Performance and default

The date and manner of performance, notices, cure opportunities and records of non-performance may affect the available remedies.

Liability

A claim may require analysis of breach, fault where relevant, causation, loss and any contractual or statutory limitation.

Evidence

Written agreements, amendments, correspondence, invoices, payment records and delivery documents are commonly central to the assessment.
