Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The court addressed a dispute involving the enforcement of a contractual provision concerning the payment of costs upon non-performance, where the context suggested the provision constituted an unenforceable penalty rather than a valid liquidated damages clause. The court reasoned that because the sum stipulated was disproportionately large relative to the greatest loss that could conceivably have followed from the breach, and considering the nature of the transaction, the provision served merely as a threat to compel performance rather than a genuine pre-estimate of potential damages, thus rendering it void as a penalty under applicable law.
