Commercial Contracts

Every business relies on various types of commercial contracts to maintain smooth operations. Here are some common examples

Flexibility and Efficiency - A flexible, efficient, and relatively inexpensive option.

Non-Court Supervision - Operates without court supervision, avoiding unnecessary court appearances.

Control - Allows the lender to retain control over the entire process.

Irreversibility - Cannot be set aside or reopened after the sale.

Time Acceleration - Accelerates the time within which the mortgagor must pay the outstanding amount.

Clarity - A straightforward remedy clearly outlined in mortgage documentation or the Mortgages Act.

Deficiency Recovery - If a shortfall occurs, the lender can initiate an action to recover the deficiency. Similarly, a borrower can sue the lender for an improvident sale.

Abandonment Option - The mortgagee can abandon proceedings at any time, subject to s. 42 of the Mortgages Act.

Even with the best intentions, legal issues can arise if a commercial contract is poorly drafted or misunderstood. Below are some common legal problems businesses face:

Breach of Contract: When one party fails to meet their contractual obligations, it can result in financial losses, disputes, and even legal action.

Non-performance: Partial or complete failure to perform as specified in the contract can strain business relationships and lead to revenue loss.

Misrepresentation: If one party provides false information when entering into the contract, the agreement may become void or lead to costly disputes.

Unclear Terms - Vague or ambiguous contract language can lead to misunderstandings, making it difficult to enforce certain clauses or resolve disagreements.

Dispute Resolution Issues - Poorly defined dispute resolution mechanisms can complicate negotiations, often leading to drawn-out legal battles.

Insolvency - If one party faces insolvency, it can disrupt the fulfillment of contractual obligations, leading to termination or renegotiation.

Unrealistic Deadlines - Contracts that impose unreasonable timelines can increase the likelihood of breaches, ultimately harming business operations.
