A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform a material promise under a valid agreement. The non-breaching party may pursue remedies such as damages, restitution, or specific performance when appropriate.
To establish a breach, there must be a valid contract, a breach of a material term, causation of damages, and proof of the damages. The process may involve demand letters, negotiations, discovery, and, if needed, court or arbitration proceedings.
