What is a breach of contract?

Breach of contract occurs when the terms of a contract are violated by a party not fulfilling their obligations or fulfilling them incorrectly. Common breach of contract situations include:

Disputes about the fulfilment of goods or services
Disputes about the quality of goods or services
Commercial real estate transaction issues
Project delays or budgeting
Lease violations
Business disputes
Violations of employment contracts

How can you resolve a contractual breach?

When deciding to bring a claim forward for breach of contract, there are several steps you must take.

First, review the contract carefully to discover any resolution limits. For example, there may be restrictions on monetary claims or a grace period for cancelling a contract without consequence.

Next, you must speak with a lawyer as soon as possible because the BC Limitations Act only provides you with two years to bring a claim to court. Usually, breach of contract victims requests monetary damages for expenses incurred or performance remedies that require the other party to complete an obligation. In some instances, victims request an injunction to prevent the opposing party from taking action.
