Right to claim damages for terminating a service contract

I am just wondering, one of my clients has cancelled the awarded contract before the execution of the contract according to the termination clause which states that the contract can be cancelled by giving a 5 days' notice.

However, we have spent reasonable time and resources for the execution of services since the award of the contract. Do we have any legal ground to ask for partial compensation?

As understood, the contract has been terminated.

If the contract has been terminated in contravention of the contract or applicable law of the country, the affected party has all the right to claim damages unless it is caused by way of contributory negligence.

Your case needs to be seen under the facts, particularly after having the cumulative reading of the contract and related documents.
