Remedies range from monetary damages to specific performance or contract termination, depending on the circumstances and governing law in California.
Breach of contract means one party does not meet the obligations outlined in a valid agreement. The breach must be material or substantial to justify remedies, and defenses may apply depending on the contract terms and situation.
Key elements include an offer, acceptance, consideration, mutual intent, and a breach. The typical process involves review of the contract, factual investigation, negotiation, potential mediation, and, if necessary, court proceedings.
