Breach of Contract
Breach of contract is one of the more common types of business disputes that arise. It can occur between business partners, vendors, clients, customers, employees or a company and its shareholders.
A contract outlines the conditions and terms of agreement between two or more parties. When one or more of the parties fails to uphold their contract obligations, then a breach of contract occurs.
The severity of contract breaches can vary. In a partial or immaterial breach, much of the contract remains intact. A party who breached the contract can often remedy a partial breach through payment for damages.
In a material breach or total breach of contract, the contract’s core agreement has been breached and as a result the whole contract fails. A court typically excuses the wronged party from the contract and determines what the extent of damages is and whether the party can be compensated for the damages. The court will also determine whether the party violating the contract benefited from the violation.
