A breach occurs when one party does not meet a material term of the agreement, such as failing to close or missing a required deposit. The breach can allow the other party to pursue remedies, including termination of the contract, refunds of deposits, or damages. The right remedy depends on the contract terms and applicable law.
Remedies may include monetary damages for losses, specific performance in limited cases, rescission to unwind the contract, or deposits being returned. The availability of each remedy depends on the facts, contract language, and court rulings.
Resolution timelines vary with complexity and venue. Some disputes resolve through negotiation or mediation in weeks, while others proceed to court over months or longer. Early action often shortens the overall process.
