This might be non-performance or interference with the other party&#039;s performance. A breach of contract has occurred if one party does not fulfill their contractual promise or has given information to the other party that their duty will not be performed as mentioned in the contract. It can also occur when there is a misinterpretation or opposing interpretation of a contract. At Scarritt Law Group, we represent both plaintiffs and defendants in a broad range of contract disputes. This includes both individuals and businesses.<\/span>\n\t<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>[vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1447926699772{padding-top: 45px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"dnntitle\">\n<h4 class=\"box\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span id=\"dnn_ctr2979_dnnTITLE1_titleLabel\" class=\"title1\">Types of Contract Breaches<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"box\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h5>Minor<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"box\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h5>Material<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"box\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h5>Fundamental<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"box\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h5>Anticipatory<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Scarritt Law Group has experience handling complex contract disputes and is available to represent in lawsuits involving:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employment agreements<\/li>\n<li>Lease agreements<\/li>\n<li>Contracts between homeowners and construction contractors<\/li>\n<li>Auto leases and sales contracts<\/li>\n<li>Real estate contracts<\/li>\n<li>Vendor contracts<\/li>\n<li>Entertainment contracts<\/li>\n<li>Loan agreements<\/li>\n<li>Business contracts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Minor Breach<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>A minor breach is a partial or immaterial breach or a breach where there has been substantial performance. The non-breaching party cannot sue for specific performance but can sue for actual damages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Material Breach<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>A material breach is any failure to perform that permits the other party to either compel performance or collect damages because of the breach. The Restatement (Second) of Contracts lists the following criteria to determine whether a specific failure constitutes a breach: In determining whether a failure to render or to offer performance is material, the following circumstances are significant: (a) the extent to which the injured party will be deprived of the benefit which he reasonably expected; (b) the extent to which the injured party can be adequately compensated for the part of that benefit of which he will be deprived; (c) the extent to which the party failing to perform or to offer to perform will suffer forfeiture; (d) the likelihood that the party failing to perform or to offer to perform will cure his failure, taking account of all the circumstances including any reasonable assurances; (e) the extent to which the behavior of the party failing to perform or to offer to perform comports with standards of good faith and fair dealing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Fundamental Breach<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>A fundamental breach is a breach so fundamental that it permits the aggrieved party to terminate performance of the contract. That party is also entitled to sue for damages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Anticipatory Breach<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>An anticipatory breach is an undeniable indication that one party will not perform when performance is due, or a situation in which future non-performance is inevitable. An anticipatory breach gives the non-breaching party the option to treat the breach as immediate and terminate the contract. The party can also sue for damages without waiting for the breach to actually take place.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;]\n\n\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action with-icon\" style=\"border: 1px solid #d8d8d8;\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-row-66-33 clearfix\" style=\"padding: 2%;\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-text-wrapper mkd-call-to-action-column1 mkd-call-to-action-cell\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-icon-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-icon-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"mkd-icon-simple-line-icon icon-globe \" style=\"font-size: 33px; ;color: #c18f59; \" ><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-text\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6>If you are a victim of a breach of contract or if you have been accused of breaching a contract, contact us today to schedule a time to talk about your legal concerns.<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-button-wrapper mkd-call-to-action-column2 mkd-call-to-action-cell\" style =\"text-align: right ;\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/rsconsultingdns.com\/scarritt\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" style=\"background-color: #cf9455\" class=\"mkd-btn mkd-btn-medium mkd-btn-solid mkd-btn-icon\"  >    <span class=\"mkd-btn-text\"  >Contact Us<\/span><span class=\"mkd-btn-icon-holder\">            <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"mkd-icon-font-elegant arrow_carrot-right mkd-btn-icon-elem\" ><\/span>            <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"mkd-icon-font-elegant arrow_carrot-right mkd-btn-icon-elem\" ><\/span>        <\/span>    <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-offset-3 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-offset-3&#8243;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;page-sidebar&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; triangle_shape=&#8221;no&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1447926565788{padding-top: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-9 vc_col-md-12&#8243;][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1447926699772{padding-top: 45px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Types of Contract Breaches Minor Material Fundamental Anticipatory [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Scarritt Law Group has experience handling complex contract disputes and is available to represent in lawsuits involving: Employment agreements Lease agreements Contracts between homeowners and construction contractors Auto leases and sales contracts Real estate contracts Vendor contracts Entertainment contracts Loan agreements Business contracts [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text] Minor Breach A minor breach is a partial or immaterial breach or a breach where there has been substantial performance.
