Breach of contract occurs when a party fails to perform a material promise in a valid agreement.
Key remedies include damages, specific performance when appropriate, and contract reformation or rescission in certain cases.
A breach happens when one side does not meet their contractual duties, whether through nonperformance, late delivery, or incomplete fulfillment, and the other party seeks a remedy under California law.
A valid contract, a breach of the terms, and resulting damages or injunctive relief form the core. The typical process includes demand, negotiation, potential mediation, and if needed, litigation or arbitration.
This glossary defines common terms used in breach of contract matters to help clients understand their options and rights.
