What is the main difference between contracts discharged due to operation of law and contracts discharged due to acts of the parties? Discharge due to acts of the parties never requires court intervention, whereas discharge due to operation of law always does. Discharge due to operation of law reflects at least one party's intent, whereas discharge due to acts of the parties doesn't necessarily reflect either party's intent. Discharge due to acts of the parties is legally binding, whereas discharge due to operation of law is not. Discharge due to operation of law doesn't necessarily reflect either party's intent, whereas discharge due to acts of the parties reflects at least one party's intent. 11 XIR Submit > 17
