When the terms of a contract are unfulfilled by one or more parties a contract is said to be “breached” or the party is said to be in “non performance”. Unless both parties have agreed to changes in the terms of the contract or the actions of one party have implicitly been accepted by the action or non-action of the other party all terms of a contract must be honored. Otherwise, a contract breach has occurred and a breach of contract lawyer should be called in to review the situation.
Obvious non-performance is a simple matter. Breach of Contract in California becomes more difficult to pursue when the case turns on issues of the quality of materials or service and the timely completion of a contract.
In California, contract breach leaves the nonperforming or improperly performing party open to a claim for damages by the other party. The non-breaching party is relieved of their obligations under the contract by the other party’s breach.
