What Is Contract Dispute Resolution?
Contract dispute resolution focuses on addressing conflicts that arise from breaches, misinterpretations, or disagreements over contractual terms. These disputes often occur in business transactions, real estate dealings, or service agreements and can disrupt operations or lead to financial losses if not resolved promptly.
Effective resolution ensures contractual obligations are fulfilled, relationships are preserved, and legal risks are minimized.
Methods of Contract Dispute Resolution
Common methods of resolving contract disputes include:
Negotiation - Direct discussions between parties to reach a mutually acceptable solution.
Mediation - A neutral mediator facilitates discussions to help parties find common ground.
Arbitration - A private process where an arbitrator delivers a binding decision.
Litigation - Taking the dispute to court for a judge or jury to resolve.
Expert Determination - Using an independent expert to decide technical or specialized matters.
Common Causes of Contract Disputes
Contract disputes often arise from:
Breaches of Contract - Failure to fulfill agreed-upon obligations, such as delivery deadlines or payment terms.
Ambiguous Terms - Misinterpretation of unclear or conflicting contractual language.
Non-Performance - One party's inability to meet contractual obligations.
Fraud or Misrepresentation - Providing false information to induce agreement.
Changes in Circumstances - Unforeseen events that impact the ability to perform contractual duties.
Challenges in Contract Dispute Resolution
Resolving contract disputes can be complex due to:
Legal Ambiguities - Interpreting unclear terms or conflicting clauses.
Emotional Conflicts - High stakes and personal investments often complicate negotiations.
Cost Considerations - Litigation or arbitration can be expensive and time-consuming.

Legal Rights of the Homeowner in a Power of Sale
During a power of sale process, homeowners have certain rights, including:
Right to Redeem - The homeowner can stop the power of sale by paying the outstanding mortgage balance and associated costs before the sale.
Right to Notice - The lender must provide the homeowner with a Notice of Sale at least 15 days after the default and 35 days before the sale.
Right to Surplus Funds - If the proceeds of the sale exceed the outstanding mortgage balance and associated costs, the homeowner is entitled to receive the surplus funds.
Right to Legal Representation - Homeowners have the right to legal representation throughout the power of sale process.
Right to Challenge the Sale - Homeowners have the right to challenge the sale if they believe the property was sold for an unfair price or if there were errors in the power of sale process.
Preventing Power of Sale
Preventing a power of sale is possible through several methods. Homeowners can refinance their mortgage, negotiate with their lender, or sell their home before the power of sale process begins. It’s essential to act quickly to have more options available and potentially stop the power of sale. To ensure that your power of sale process goes smoothly and without problems, contact ME Law to be consulted on all aspects of mortgage loan origination to the conclusion of a sale of the property.
