A breach occurs when one party fails to perform a material part of a contract without a valid excuse.
Our team explains the elements, potential remedies, and the steps you can take to protect your rights.
Breach of contract involves a failure to perform obligations set out in a contract, which may lead to damages, specific performance, or rescission, depending on the terms and laws in California.
To pursue relief, the court typically requires: an enforceable contract, proof of breach, damages or an appropriate remedy, and a causal link between breach and loss.
Common terms you may encounter include material breach, damages, specific performance, and mitigation.
A material breach is a failure that goes to the heart of the deal, permitting the non-breaching party to seek remedies.
Damages are monetary compensation awarded to cover losses caused by the breach.
Specific performance is a court order requiring the breaching party to fulfill the contract terms when monetary damages are insufficient.
Remedies may include damages, injunctions, rescission, or reformation.
Options to resolve breach include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation, each with its own timeline, costs, and likelihood of success.
In simple cases, settlement or small claims may resolve the dispute without full litigation.
