Contracts create obligations. When those obligations are breached, or when another person’s actions cause you loss, damage or harm, you may have legal remedies available.
At Marilyn Law & Associates, we help individuals and businesses understand their rights and pursue appropriate legal solutions for breach of contract, negligence, civil claims and other disputes arising from contractual or wrongful acts.
From reviewing agreements and resolving contractual disputes to pursuing compensation and defending claims, we provide practical legal guidance tailored to your situation.
Contracts and civil wrongs can create significant financial and personal consequences. Understanding your legal rights early can help you determine whether you have a claim, how to respond to a dispute and what remedies may be available.
Once parties enter into a valid contract, they may be legally required to perform the obligations they agreed to. The terms of the agreement can determine what each party must do and what happens if those obligations are not fulfilled.
Where one party fails to perform as agreed, the contract and circumstances should first be reviewed carefully. Depending on the situation, negotiation, a formal demand, dispute resolution or legal proceedings may be appropriate.
A written contract creates clearer evidence of what the parties agreed. Important provisions can include payment terms, deadlines, responsibilities, termination rights, liability and dispute-resolution procedures.
Where a person or organisation fails to exercise an appropriate level of care and that failure causes legally recognisable harm or loss, a negligence claim may arise. The specific facts and evidence are important in determining whether a claim exists.
When an agreement is broken or someone causes you loss or harm, it can be difficult to know whether you have a legal claim and what you can do about it. Here are some of the common questions Kenyans ask about contracts, negligence, civil claims and legal remedies.
If the other party has failed to perform an obligation agreed in the contract, you may have a claim for breach of contract. The contract should first be reviewed to establish the obligations involved, the nature of the breach and any procedures that must be followed before pursuing further action.
A breach of contract does not automatically mean that court proceedings are your only option. Depending on the circumstances, a formal demand, negotiation or another dispute-resolution process may resolve the matter.
If you paid for goods or services that were not provided as agreed, you may have contractual remedies depending on the terms of the agreement and the evidence available. You may be able to seek performance, a refund, damages or another appropriate remedy.
Payment records, invoices, receipts, delivery documents and messages with the supplier can be important evidence when establishing what was agreed and what went wrong.
