If a party breaches a contract but has partially performed under it, under what principle can the breaching party recover the value of their performance?
Penalty doctrine
Voidance
Quantum meruit
Restitution
The correct answer is quantum meruit, which allows a breaching party to recover the reasonable value of the benefit they conferred on the non-breaching party. This prevents unjust enrichment of the non-breaching party. Restitution is related but does not specifically apply only to breaching parties. The other options, like voidance and penalty doctrine, are unrelated to the concept of recovering value after partial performance or addressing benefiting the breaching party.
