Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 5295665, member: 250"] Penalty clauses are crucial tools in contract management, enforcing compliance and delineating consequences for breaches. They must adhere to a legal framework that differentiates between punitive and compensatory measures. Types include liquidated damages and default penalties, and each must be carefully drafted for enforceability. Common misconceptions can undermine contract effectiveness. By understanding best practices and enforcing strategies, parties can minimize risk and foster clearer relationships. Further exploration reveals deeper insights into the nuances of penalty clauses. I suspect the spectre of a school actually enforcing a damages clause might be too much for an admission office to bear. However the most enforceable damages clauses tend to be when it is inherently difficult to accurately measure the extent of damage done to the wronged part; in this case that's the school or university.
