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

incurs a forfeiture, or a loss in the nature of a forfeiture, by

relieved therefrom, upon making full compensation to the other party,
except in case of a grossly negligent, willful, or fraudulent breach
of duty.
