Contracts are the lifeblood of business in America. Business gets done by two or more entities making agreements, solidified in contract form.

Contract Breaches

Contracts can be breached in several ways:

  • Material breach: When a party fails to perform a part of a contract that allows the other party to recover damages due to the breach. These are usually very substantial breaches that cause harm to the other party.
  • Minor breach: This is a partial breach that is less severe than a material breach, but still allows the other party to collect some type of damage.
  • Fundamental breach: This type of breach is so serious that it allows the other party to terminate the contract and sue for damages
  • Anticipatory breach: This is when one party refuses to perform according to the terms of the contract.

What Happens When a Contract is Breached?

If a party believes that another party has violated the terms of a contract, he or she can seek to have the contract enforced by taking legal action. In such cases, representation from an experienced business attorney is usually required. Your attorney may attempt to resolve the dispute through negotiation, mediation or arbitration. If these avenues fail, you have the option of taking your case to court.

If the dispute involves a small dollar figure, taking your case to small claims court is also a viable option.
