Common Types Of Breach Of Contract Cases

Bells Hagens PLLC handles a range of contract disputes in Chappell Hill. Understanding the type of breach you face helps determine the most effective legal strategy. Examples of common contract breaches include:

• Material breach: When one party fundamentally fails to perform their contractual obligations. Examples include failure to deliver goods, substantial delays causing significant losses or delivering products that differ materially from specifications. These breaches often justify contract termination and full compensation.
• Performance-based claims: Disputes involving partial completion of contractual duties. These cases often arise in construction, service contracts or long-term business relationships where one party has invested significant resources before the breach occurred.
• Minor breach: Cases involving technical or partial violations that do not destroy the contract’s value. While these breaches may not warrant termination, you may still recover damages for any losses incurred. Examples include slight delays in payment or minor deviations from contract specifications.
• Quantum meruit claims: Cases seeking fair compensation for work performed or services provided outside the original contract terms. These claims typically arise when circumstances change during performance, verbal agreements exist or when one party receives valuable benefits without paying. Common in construction and consulting contracts where scope changes occur.
• Anticipatory breach: Situations where one party clearly indicates they will not fulfill future obligations. This might involve direct statements of refusal to perform or actions that make performance impossible. Such breaches allow you to seek remedies before the actual breach occurs.
• Good faith violations: Cases where a party technically follows the contract but acts in ways that undermine its purpose. This includes withholding essential information, creating unnecessary obstacles or exploiting contract ambiguities for unfair advantage.

Each type of breach requires different evidence to prove and may lead to different remedies under Texas law. Monetary damages remain the most common remedy, but courts may also order specific performance or contract rescission in certain cases. The key is identifying the exact nature of the breach and its impact on your business operations. Our approach focuses on protecting your business interests while seeking efficient resolution of these complex disputes.
