What Contract Law Means in Manassas
Virginia contract law governs agreements for services, goods, and business relationships throughout the Commonwealth, including Manassas. A party who breaches a valid contract may be liable for compensatory damages designed to put the non-breaching party in the position they would have been in had the contract been performed. Depending on the agreement and the conduct at issue, a party may also recover consequential or incidental damages.
In Virginia, contract claims within the jurisdictional limit of the General District Court (exclusive of interest and attorney fees) may be filed there; claims exceeding that limit proceed in the Circuit Court.
