Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

Re: Breaking a contract with a Banquet Hall

If there is a cancellation clause, it will be included as part of the written contract. There is no statute that provides specifically for banquet contracts. Generally a contract cannot be canceled by one party without the consent of the other no matter how much notice is given. However, contracts for halls and catering frequently have cancellation clauses. These are usually very much in favor of the caterer.

Re: Breaking a contract with a Banquet Hall

Reasonable notice depends on nature of

the engagement and whether the other party can arrange to replace your engagement.

I should note that when something is cancelled only a portion of the agreed upon cost should be kept because there are expenses which were not incurred.

Call me if you like.
