A contract breach can occur in various ways, including: (1) one’s failure to perform as promised; (2) one’s conduct that makes the other party’s performance of the contract impossible; (3) one’s conduct that negatively hinders the other party’s purpose and benefits of the contract; and (4) one’s clear communication to the other party of his or her intent not to perform the contract as promised.
In other cases, you may have also been induced into entering a contract through fraud or misrepresentation. This includes the failure to disclose material facts to you that would have influenced your decision to enter into the contract. In other cases, it is another third party who interferes with your business contract.
These problems occur in a variety of contracts, from service contracts, where one party agrees to perform a service for another, to a lease agreement.
