Contract Remedies
Meaning
Legal measures designated to resolve non-performance under the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China represent the standard pathway for addressing breach of commercial agreements. For foreign parties operating in China, contract remedies define the options for restitution when a supplier fails to deliver goods. These mechanisms govern compensation, liquidated damages, and specific performance, and they apply up to the limits of civil dispute arbitration.
Statutory Basis
Codification of obligations under Chinese law determines the legal framework for non-performance. When a commercial contract is breached, contract remedies operate according to Article 577 of the Civil Code.
Enforcement Mechanism
Filing for dispute resolution requires specific steps through the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission. To secure contract remedies, the claimant presents documented proof of breach to secure an award. If the award is ignored, the party seeks enforcement through the intermediate people’s court.
This pathway offers actual financial recovery.
Operational Limit
Judicial adjustments are common in administrative practice if the declared penalties exceed the actual losses incurred. When calculating contract remedies, the court possesses authority to reduce excessive amounts that exceed thirty percent of documented damages. This restriction prevents the execution of purely punitive clauses.
