Understanding Contract Breaches

Types of Breaches

There are three primary types of contract breaches:

Material breaches involve failing to perform a substantial part of the contract, excusing the non-breaching party from further performance
Minor breaches involving some failure that requires compensation but does not excuse the non-breaching party's performance
Anticipatory breaches occur when one party indicates they won't perform before the performance date arrives

Remedies for Contract Disputes

When disagreements arise, you have several options for resolving them:

Direct negotiation between parties to reach mutually acceptable solutions
Mediation with a neutral third party who facilitates settlement discussions
Arbitration, should your contract include an arbitration clause requiring binding alternative dispute resolution
If other methods fail, litigation to pursue your rights in court
