Contracts
Settlement Agreement
California
Can we renegotiate a settlement agreement?
I recently entered into a settlement agreement with the other party in a dispute, but now I believe that the terms of the agreement are no longer fair and equitable. As such, I am looking to renegotiate the agreement. I have attempted to discuss this with the other party, but they have not been receptive to the idea. I am now seeking legal advice to determine if there is any way to renegotiate the agreement and what the best course of action would be.
Joseph M.
If you enter into a binding contract you have to honour the terms unless there was fraud, mistake or misrepresentation as a basis to set aside or renegotiate.
Contracts
Repayment Agreement
California
Can a repayment agreement be enforced if it was made verbally and not in writing?
I recently loaned a significant amount of money to a friend in need, and we agreed on a repayment plan where they would pay me back in monthly installments. However, we did not put this agreement in writing, and it was purely a verbal agreement. Now, my friend is refusing to make the payments, and I'm wondering if I have any legal recourse to enforce the repayment agreement even though it was not formalized in writing.
Dolan W.
I'm so sorry about your situation! My name is Dolan. The answer is yes. Under California law, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill a legal duty the contract created and causes damages for the plaintiff. (California Civil Jury Instructions Number 303.) The measure of damages is the amount that will compensate the aggrieved party for all the detriment caused thereby or likely to result therefrom. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3300.) Parties can also seek '"specific performance" of the agreement under section 3388 of the civil code. This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. My recommendation? Consider sending a demand letter. I have a template I drafted that you can use here - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/119 Best of luck to you! So you can send this in any way want. It can be text, email, certified mail, or in person. I usually send letters via email because it’s faster and cheaper.
Contracts
Business Contract
California
Reviewing a business contract: cost?
I am starting a new business and need to enter into a contract with a supplier. I have been provided with a contract to review, but I am unsure of the associated costs. I am looking for legal advice on the cost of reviewing the contract and whether there are any potential pitfalls or areas of risk that I should be aware of before signing.
Eddy M.
The cost will depend on several factors: - Length of the document - Quality of the contract (if it's poorly drafted then it will require more work to revise) - Complexity of the transaction (the more complex, the more time is needed to understand it and solve problems) - Your leverage vs. the supplier's (if you don't much leverage, then the contract will require a lighter touch as far as revisions) The best course of action is to do an initial consultation with your lawyer of choice to discuss the above. After that, the lawyer will be able to give you a sense of the cost, and make a proposal on either an hourly rate or a flat fee.
Contracts
Parking Agreement
California
Can I terminate a parking agreement if the landlord has breached the terms?
I entered into a parking agreement with my landlord, which stated that I would have exclusive access to a designated parking spot for a monthly fee. However, the landlord has repeatedly allowed other tenants to use my spot, making it unavailable to me on several occasions. I have brought this issue to the landlord's attention multiple times, but they have failed to rectify the situation. Can I terminate the parking agreement due to the landlord's breach of the terms?
Abbi N.
What does the parking agreement say? Is there an option to terminate the agreement for breach?
Contracts
Contractor Agreement
California
Can a contractor agreement be modified without written consent?
I recently entered into a contractor agreement with a company to provide my services for a specific project, but the company has now informed me that they want to make changes to the terms of the agreement, including the scope of work and payment terms, without obtaining my written consent. I am unsure if they have the legal right to modify the agreement without my agreement and would like to understand my rights in this situation.
Dawn K.
Without seeing the terms in question, this is a general contracts answer: 1. Does the contract itself specify how it can be modified, changed or amended? If so, the contract itself should tell you whether this is okay. 2. If the contract doesn't state how, it can usually be modified, changed or amended, if you both have "mutual" agreement to change any terms, and in writing. 3. If they are trying to change it on their side only, and it is not permitted in the original agreement, this may not be allowed and depending on the terms to be changed, and to what extent, it may be some level of breach. Again, I do not have the contract, but I understand the terms to be changed include scope and payment, which may be enough of a change from the original agreement to potentially create a new one to substitute- with your consent. Hope this helps.
