What Happens When You Win Your Breach of Contract Lawsuit?

If you are involved in a Breach of Contract lawsuit, your ultimate goal is normally to "win" the case. Depending on what your role is, a win can be measured in different ways. If you're running a business and filed a lawsuit because another party breached a contract and owes you money, a win to you is likely receiving money for the breach of contract (and possibly attorneys' fees if that is a provision of the contract). However, if you're the party being sued because you allegedly breached the contract, a win from your end could be a dismissal of the case (and hopefully an award of attorneys' fees to you for having to defend against the lawsuit).

As you approach your lawsuit, you want to first think about what a win would look like for you. The most basic win for you would, of course, be monetary. You win an award of money, you win your costs and disbursements, and you win your attorneys' fees. All of these are determined by the Court and are an amount of money to compensate you for the breach of the contract. But in addition to money, there are other types of remedies that may be available to you. These remedies are often referred to as "Equitable Remedies" and it's the court trying to craft a resolution that is fair to the injured party.
