Answer: Mitigation of damages
Explanation: The concept of Mitigation of damages defines the action an individual or party who has suffered or incurred a loss arising from a breach of contract should take in other to lessen or mitigate the effect of the contract breach. This will lessen or reduce the loss incurred as a result of the breach caused by the other party. Once there is a breach of contract, Mitigation of damages becomes a duty on the party who has suffered a loss and should therefore, prevent increased 'avoidable loss' caused by the contract breach. Further losses incurred has a result of failure to mitigate damages won't be catered for by the party guilty of the breach of contract.
