Foreseeability is a key criterion for determining whether the damages resulting from a breach of contract are recoverable. Damages that were not foreseeable at the time of contract formation or were too remote or speculative will not be recoverable. Novation refers to the replacement of an old contract with a new one, specific performance is a remedy where a party is required to fulfill their contractual obligations, injunction is a court order requiring someone to stop doing something, and mitigation of damages refers to the requirement for a party to take reasonable steps to minimize losses resulting from a breach.
