2009 California Civil Code - Section 3274-3275 :: Title 1. Relief In General

3274.  As a general rule, compensation is the relief or remedy
provided by the law of this State for the violation of private
rights, and the means of securing their observance; and specific and
preventive relief may be given in no other cases than those specified
in this Part of the CIVIL CODE.

3275.  Whenever, by the terms of an obligation, a party thereto
incurs a forfeiture, or a loss in the nature of a forfeiture, by
reason of his failure to comply with its provisions, he may be
relieved therefrom, upon making full compensation to the other party,
except in case of a grossly negligent, willful, or fraudulent breach
of duty.
