How to Determine What is a Breach of Contract
One of the more common forms of business disputes is a dispute over the failure to perform certain obligations set forth in a contract, and many businesses and individuals often wonder what is or what constitutes a “breach of contract,” writes Robert Fojo of Fojo Dell’Orfano of New Hampshire.
“If you entered into a contract, performed your obligations under that contract, and you are experiencing issues with getting the other party to perform its own obligations, you may have a situation where that party has not fulfilled its end of the bargain,” he writes.
“What do you do next? This is a question that haunts many businesses and individuals. How do you know what is a breach of contract? Are there any specific steps that need to be taken to make that determination? Should you go back and read the actual contract? How long do you have to do this? Should you talk to an attorney?”
