Most organisations will draw up legal contracts with a variety of parties including employees and third-parties before providing or receiving a service from the other contracted parties.
It is important to understand that a contract is not legally binding unless it includes the following:
If one or more parties fails to comply with the terms of the legal contract, then this Is known as a breach of contract.
There are different variations of contract breaches including: minor, material, fundamental and anticipatory.
It is important to understand that no assumptions should be made when considering a claim for breach of contract. The only way to confirm a breach of contract is an outright refusal to commit to the contract terms.
In order to claim for a breach of contract you must demonstrate the following:
If the court decides that you have clearly demonstrated the above terms, then they may decide to award you monetary damages for the breach of contract. These damages are awarded in order to place the affected party back in the financial position they were in before entering in to the contract.
On some occasions, the Court can make an injunction order, which involves the party in breach of the contract remedying the breach and ceasing from causing further damage in the future.
The Court can also decide to make a specific performance order, which involves the party in breach to comply with a specific contract term, which they failed to comply with previously.
