If you have entered into a contract with another party and believe that they have breached that contract, engaging the assistance of a lawyer will be invaluable. By carefully listening to your circumstances and examining the contract in dispute, your lawyer will be able to advise you on what kind of action you may take.

There are many different types of breaches to contracts and firstly you will need to establish what type of breach it is.

The different types of Contract Breaches are:

Material Breach – This is where breach is significant. This is where there is where a party fails to perform part or all of their contractual obligations.

Anticipatory Breach – This is where a breach has not yet occurred, but will occur. An example of this is where one party notifies the other that they are unable to fulfill part of their obligation such as late delivery or partial delivery of goods or services.

Minor Breach – A minor breach is as the name suggest minor. Although many or consistent minor breaches may constitute a material breach.

There are many ways to seek a remedy if a party breaches or intends to breach a contract such as:

• Repudiation of the Contract
• Compensation
• Terminating the Contract
• Injunction

Any of these avenues have to be carefully considered before you take action. If the action you take in response to the other parties breach is not right then you could be sued or counter-sued for a breach.
