What is Breach of Contract?

A contract is an agreement offered by one party and accepted by another. Contracts are almost always written documents in Florida, but it is not impossible to have an entirely oral contract. When a party to a contract fails to fulfill its duties under the contract, it is called a breach of contract. Parties to a contract may choose not to fulfill the bargain, and in some situations keeping with the agreement is simply impossible. What happens after a breach of contract depends on the circumstances. The party that breached the contract may be ordered to pay for the other's loss, and this sometimes makes it necessary to bring the matter to court.
