Contracts, often laden with intricate legal language, can be challenging to decipher. It's no surprise that breaches of contracts are not uncommon. Some contracts span numerous pages, and the specifics may fade away over time after the dotted line is signed.
A breach of contract transpires when a contractual party fails to fulfill the specified obligations agreed upon in the signed contract.
Legal agreements usually outline the consequences of breaching the terms. For instance, a contract might stipulate a fine for a party being one day late on a payment. Consequences can extend to immediate contract termination or any mutually agreed-upon legal repercussions.
In the event of a breach, the initial step is often not a rush to court. Parties involved typically attempt to find a resolution or draft a new contract, considering developments since the original agreement. If a resolution isn't reached, mediation, arbitration, or civil court litigation might follow.
If a party succeeds in a breach of contract claim, they may recover damages, including punitive measures for bad faith, enforcement of contractual obligations, or cancelation of the agreement with the return of received benefits.
