What is Breach of Contract?

A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two parties, where a duty is promised in exchange for payment. If one party fails to live up to the obligations outlined in the contract, the other party is entitled to legal counsel. Contacts are enforceable whether they are written or oral, though proving the exact terms of an oral contract can be problematic.

Breach of Contract Litigation

A contract acts as promise between two parties. When one of the persons fails to live up to his/her end of the agreement, he/she has broken a promise, essentially. The contract may also be considered breached if one person makes it impossible for the other to perform the duties that were promised under the contract.

After a contract is breached, the aggrieved party has the right to seek compensation through litigation. The outcomes of a breach of contract case can include the following:

• Liquidated damages - the contract may contain language requiring a breaching party to pay this specified amount in the event the contract is breached.
• Consequential damages - these damages require the party at fault to compensate the other party in an amount that leaves him/her in the same position they would have been in if the contract had been honored.
• Punitive damages - punitive damages are sometimes awarded to punish the guilty party guilty and to discourage others from acting in a similar fashion.
