What Is a Breach of Contract?
A business contract is an agreement that outlines all responsibilities and duties that the parties involved are expected to uphold.
Contracts are typically used to avoid financial and other problems that can arise during the course of a business or partnership. When a party fails to uphold their end of the agreement, this is what is referred to as a breach of contract.
A breach of contract will depend on the terms set forth by the agreement, and could occur when:
- A party fails to perform their duties on time
- A party does not perform their duties in accordance with the terms set forth by the agreement
- A party does not perform their duties at all
After a contract has been breached, one or all parties involved may want to have the terms of the agreement enforced, or recover any financial harm that was caused. If the amount at issue is below a certain figure, the parties may be able to resolve the issue in small claims court.
However, going to a small claims court is not the only way that a contract dispute can be resolved. The parties can have a mediator review their dispute, or may choose to have an arbitrator review their dispute and come up with a binding decision. If attempts at alternative dispute resolutions fail, it is common for individuals to have to proceed with litigation.

What are Remedies for a Breached Contract?
When a contract is breached, the party that did not break the contract is entitled to a remedy under the law, which may include:
- Damages
- Cancellation
- Restitution
- Specific performance
Damages are the remedy most often sought for breach of contract and may consist of a payment made by the breaching party to the wronged party. Typically, damages are specific to the kind of breach that has occurred.
