Which of the following are remedies for contract breach?

• A. Deposit can be returned
• B. All of the above
• C. Legal fees can be reimbursed
• D. Compensation can be ordered

Answer: (B)

When a contract is breached, the non‑breaching party can pursue several remedies to put them back in the position they would have been in if the contract had been performed. Damages, or compensation, are the most common remedy, compensating for financial losses caused by the breach. Restitution is another remedy, returning money already paid under the contract, such as a deposit, when performance is no longer required or the contract is terminated. Legal costs can also be reimbursed if the contract or governing law allows it, so the prevailing party may recover reasonable legal fees. Because each of these remedies can apply depending on the contract terms and the circumstances, all of the listed options reflect valid ways a breach can be remedied.
