Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to prove in a breach of contract claim?
You must prove four elements: a valid contract existed, you performed your obligations (or were excused from performing), the other party breached the contract, and you suffered damages as a result of the breach.
What remedies are available for breach of contract?
Common remedies include monetary damages (compensatory, consequential, and sometimes liquidated damages), specific performance (court orders the breaching party to fulfill the contract), and rescission (canceling the contract and restoring the parties to their pre-contract positions).
