## What Case Review Means in a Contract

A Case Review clause obligates one or both parties to undertake a formal examination of a discrete event, transaction, or performance failure once it has occurred. Unlike ongoing monitoring, a case review is retrospective and triggered, usually by a complaint, an incident, a dispute over deliverables, or a regulatory inquiry. The clause exists to give the parties a documented, repeatable process for finding out what actually happened before liability, remediation, or termination decisions are made.

In practice, the term functions as a procedural safeguard. It tells the reader that when something goes wrong, there is a defined mechanism, rather than an ad hoc conversation, for establishing facts. This matters commercially because it reduces the risk that one party unilaterally decides the outcome of a dispute without the other having an opportunity to be heard or to see the evidence relied upon.

Case Review provisions are common in service agreements, employment-adjacent contracts, and regulated industries where an audit trail of decision-making is expected by regulators or insurers.
