Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does breach of contract mean?

Breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform their obligations as outlined in a legally binding agreement. This could be a failure to deliver goods or services, pay on time, or meet agreed standards.

Can breach of contract be verbal?

Yes, a contract can be verbal and still legally binding, depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the agreement. However, proving the terms and breach of a verbal contract can be more difficult than with a written contract.

How does breach of contract occur?

Breach of contract occurs when one party fails to meet their contractual responsibilities, either partially or completely, without a valid legal excuse. It may be a result of non-performance, delay, refusal, or wrongful interpretation of terms.

How can breach of contract be proven?

To prove breach of contract, you must show that a valid contract existed, that the other party failed to fulfil their obligations, and that you suffered a measurable loss as a result. Supporting documents and communications are often vital.

Can a breach of contract be waived?

Yes, in some cases a breach can be waived if the injured party chooses not to enforce their rights or agrees to revised terms. However, this must be done knowingly and sometimes in writing, depending on the situation.
