Frequently asked questions
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to meet their obligations under an agreement. This may include non-payment, late performance, incomplete or defective work, or refusing to carry out agreed terms. Our breach of contract solicitors in Essex can review your situation and advise on whether a breach has occurred and what options may be available.
Yes, provided a valid contract exists and the breach has caused you loss. Before issuing proceedings, it is usually advisable to explore whether the dispute can be resolved through negotiation. We can advise on the most appropriate approach for suing for breach of contract in your specific circumstances.
Yes. Verbal contracts can be legally binding, provided the essential terms can be established. However, evidencing the agreement may be more challenging without written documentation, which is why early legal advice is often helpful.
Compensation typically reflects the financial loss suffered as a result of the breach of contract. This may include direct losses or costs incurred in putting matters right. The exact amount will depend on the contract terms and the nature of the breach.
No. Many breach of contract disputes can be resolved through negotiation, settlement discussions or alternative dispute resolution. Court action is usually a last resort and should be considered carefully.
Yes. Most breach of contract claims must be brought within six years, although different time limits can apply. Taking advice from a breach of contract solicitor early helps ensure deadlines are not missed.
An anticipatory breach of contract occurs when a party signals in advance that they will not perform their obligations – allowing the other party to act before the breach takes place. A material breach is a significant failure but may not automatically justify terminating the contract. A fundamental breach is the most serious type – one so significant that it defeats the purpose of the entire contract, giving the innocent party the right to treat the contract as ended and claim compensation. Our breach of contract solicitors can advise on which applies to your situation and what your options are.
