Control of contract remedies

Control of contract remedies refers to the legal rules that limit or determine the options available when one party breaches a contract. These remedies, such as damages or specific performance, aim to put the injured party in the position they would have been if the breach didn't occur. However, courts often restrict remedies to prevent excessive or unfair compensation, encourage cooperation, and promote efficient resolutions. Essentially, control mechanisms ensure remedies are fair, appropriate, and aligned with the contractual intentions and legal principles.
