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. The consequences for a breach of contract are determined by the circumstances. Often, the party at fault will pay the other for the loss caused by the breach.
