Which of the following remedies is NOT typically available for breach of contract?

In contract law, remedies for breach of contract are designed to provide relief to the injured party. Among the common remedies available, specific performance, rescission, and damages are well-established options.

Specific performance involves a court order requiring the breaching party to fulfill their obligations as specified in the contract, particularly relevant when the subject matter of the contract is unique or irreplaceable, such as real estate or rare items. Rescission allows the parties to void the contract, restoring them to their original positions as if the contract had never existed, typically employed when there has been a significant misrepresentation or mutual mistake. Damages aim to provide monetary compensation to the injured party for losses incurred from the breach, intended to make them "whole" again financially.

Contract termination, while it may occur as a result of a breach, is not classified primarily as a remedy. Instead, it is typically a consequence of a significant breach, allowing a party to end the contract but not necessarily providing the remedy of compensation, performance, or restoration that the other remedies offer. Therefore, termination itself does not equate to a remedial action but instead signifies the end of the contractual relationship without the same guarantees of compensation or enforcement that other remedies afford.
