The Law Office of Stevaughn J. Bush, Esq. — Breach of Contract Attorneys in DC
Businesses often enter into legally binding agreements. When one or more parties fail to fulfill their obligations, this is referred to as a breach of contract. The remedies available for such breaches may vary based on the nature of the violation.
Types of Breaches
Minor Breach: This occurs when an individual does not fully meet their obligations under the agreement. Although the other party may not have the right to terminate the contract or halt performance, the breaching party could still be liable for damages.
Material Breach: A material breach involves a failure that affects the core aspects of the contract. In cases of a material breach, the injured party may declare the contract breached, cease performance, and pursue legal action for damages.
Anticipatory Breach: This type of breach happens when one party takes an action that clearly indicates they will not fulfill their obligations. For instance, if one party informs the other that they will not make a payment, the party expecting payment can sue for damages before the due date and can also discontinue their own performance under the contract.
