Common Examples Of Contract Disputes That Lead To Litigation
Contract disputes can take many forms, such as:
- Lack of payment
- Failure to deliver products or services
- Missed deadlines
- Poor quality of products or workmanship
- Scope creep
- Violations of confidentiality clauses
Every situation is unique, but you generally need to prove four key elements to bring a successful breach of contract claim: the existence of a valid contract, your adherence to your end of the bargain, the defendant’s failure to uphold their contractual obligations and your losses that stem directly from the defendant’s breach.
At Tidwell & Associates, we can help you take the next steps to resolve the issue and, when necessary, draft the complaint that must be filed in civil court to initiate legal action in Chancery or Circuit Court. In the meantime, it is crucial to save all communications and preserve any evidence that supports your claim.
What To Do When Your Business Is On The Receiving End Of A Breach Of Contract Claim
If your business is the target of a breach of contract claim, seek legal counsel immediately and take steps to preserve any relevant records. Potential defenses include situations where the contract is invalid or unenforceable due to fraud, duress, lack of capacity or another valid reason. In other situations, you may have a valid defense if the plaintiff is mistaken or failed to mitigate their losses or when the breach is immaterial.
Our lawyers at Tidwell & Associates can review your case and help you build an effective defense.
