(intended) to halt any detrimental effects thereof
Hello,
à l'effet de = with the purpose/intention of
faire cesser = to have stopped
son préjudice = its detrimental effects/consequences (the contract in dispute)
Literally,
"with the intention of having stopped detrimental effects"
In plain, natural English suitable for formal legal language:
"(intended) to halt any detrimental effects thereof "
Finally "thereof" is referring to the pronoun "son."
I hope this helps.
