Breach of contract

What is breach of contract?

Breach of contract occurs when one of the parties does not comply with the terms of an agreement. This can lead to conflicts and legal action. Consider situations such as employment contracts, rental agreements or business arrangements.

There is a difference between material and immaterial breach. Material breach involves major agreements, while immaterial breach involves smaller aspects. At SV Investigations, we help you clearly identify these situations and take action.

Consequences of breach of contract

Breach of contract can have major consequences. If a party fails to honour its agreements, you can:

  • Claiming damages: For damages suffered.

  • Rescinding the contract: Both parties are then released from further obligations.

  • Taking legal action: In severe cases, this may be necessary.

Examples include non-payment of rent, failure to deliver products or early termination of an employment contract. We support you to deal with these properly.
