Partial failure of consideration in cases in which compensation for breach can be made by awarding damages to the injured party, is analogous to breach of an independent covenant which is independent because it is only a part of the consideration for the covenants of the adversary party.1 As in the case of such independent covenants,2 a partial failure of consideration does not operate as a discharge of the entire contract if compensation for such breach can be made by awarding damages to the adversary party, and if the performance which he has received together with such award of damages will do substantial justice.3 This is true especially under statutes which provide that breach shall not discharge or forfeit rights under a contract if compensation is an adequate remedy.4 Even though partial failure of consideration does not discharge the contract, it is, however, the basis of an action by the party who is not in default to recover damages.5 .
