When I can terminate the contract?
All the conditions from Employment Contract or Director Contract have to be complied when you terminate the contract in written. In many cases written termination of contract can not have immediate effect, fx. when in the previous Employment Contract there is exact period of time the employee needs to be informed about changes or termination of the contract. In the cases when contract is terminated after the Written Warning, it’s recommended to mention that if conditions from the warning will be not met in certain time, contract can be immediately terminated.
Purpose of contract termination
The purpose of terminating a contract can vary depending on several factors, including changes in business requirements, financial considerations, or inadequate performance by one or both parties. The termination of a contract is a serious matter and should only be undertaken after careful consideration of all potential consequences. As such, it is essential to adhere strictly to the terms and conditions outlined in the contract and to maintain open communication with all parties involved throughout the process. Any disputes or concerns should be resolved amicably and in accordance with the governing laws and regulations. Overall, a termination can be a stressful and complex undertaking, but with proper planning and execution, it can also lead to a more beneficial and productive outcome for all parties involved. Most common purposes of terminations:
1. A breach of contract has occurred
One of the most frequent grounds for the termination of a contract is a breach of its terms by one of the contracting parties. This occurs when one of the parties fails to meet their obligations or engages in conduct that is in contravention of the established rules of the contract or agreement. Consequently, the non-breaching party has the right to terminate the contract and relieve themselves of their obligations therein.
It should be noted that the party who breached the contract is not absolved of their contractual responsibilities. The breaching party may be obligated to provide damages or indemnify the non-breaching party for their losses incurred due to the breach. The right to terminate simply affords the other party with the opportunity to dissolve the contracted relationship sooner than originally specified.
2. Performance of the contract is impossible
It is imperative to note that in the event of a supervening event, the involved parties hold a legal obligation to terminate the contract. This is particularly applicable in scenarios where the performance of the contract has become impossible since its establishment. A supervening event may take the form of a financial change within the company, alteration of its status or even structural changes. As such, parties should conscientiously consider any prevailing supervening events to ensure that they are acting within the bounds of the law. It is crucial for all parties to uphold the legal obligations stipulated in the contract and ensure that the termination process is conducted in a procedurally fair and just manner.
3. All parties would prefer for the contract to end
It is permissible to terminate a contract when the involved parties do not derive benefits from it or when collaboration between them becomes challenging. Nonetheless, mutual agreement from all parties is imperative for such termination to be effected.
Through this type of contract termination, both parties can prioritise their interests without fear of penalisation.
