“Substantial
Performance” Definition: In order that there
may be substantial performance of an obligation, there must have been an
attempt in good faith to perform, without any willful or intentional
departure therefrom. The deviation from the obligation must be slight, and
the omission or defect must be technical and unimportant, and must not
pervade the whole or be so material that the object which the parties
intended to accomplish in a particular manner is not attained.
