Under most state law, a valid accord and satisfaction requires four elements as a minimum, usually, (1) proper subject matter, (2) competent parties, (3) meeting of the minds of the parties and (4) adequate consideration.
Once you've signed an agreement, it's a legal document. If someone doesn't do what the agreement says, the law says: they're breaching (not following) the agreement, and. you have a right to try to get them to do what the agreement says (called enforcing the agreement).
Definition. An agreement (accord) between two contracting parties to accept alternate performance to discharge a preexisting duty between them and the subsequent performance (satisfaction) of that agreement.
The accord is the agreement to discharge the obligation and the satisfaction is the legal "consideration" which binds the parties to the agreement.
Legally, one party's failure to fulfill any of its contractual obligations is known as a "breach" of the contract. Depending on the specifics, a breach can occur when a party fails to perform on time, does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement, or does not perform at all.
An accord and satisfaction is a legal contract whereby two parties agree to discharge a tort claim, contract, or other liability for an amount based on terms that differ from the original amount of the contract or claim. Accord and satisfaction is also used to settle legal claims prior to bringing them to court.
554, 561 (2001), for the rule that three elements must exist for there to be an accord and satisfaction: (a) there must be a (good faith) dispute about the existence or extent of liability, (b) after the dispute arises, the parties must enter into an agreement in which one party must agree to pay more than that party
As long as the parties in an accord and satisfaction meet the new terms, the previous agreement remains suspended. If a party fails to live up to the new terms of an accord and satisfaction then they may ultimately be liable for the more stringent terms of the original contract.
The court can order the person who breached the contract to carry out whatever is remaining in the terms. The party that did not breach the contract can ask the court to have the contract cancelled and then sue the breaching party for restitution.
Accord and satisfaction is a settlement of an unliquidated debt. For example, a builder is contracted to build a homeowner a garage for $35,000. The contract called for $17,500 prior to starting construction, to disburse $10,000 during various stages of construction, and to make a final payment of $7,500 at completion.
