What is Breach of Contract?

When one party makes an offer and another accepts it, a contract is formed. Generally, contracts will be written documents in Mississippi, but oral agreements of certain types can be the basis of a contract. Breach of Contract is when a contract is not fulfilled by one or more parties. In the course of business, a party may choose not to live up to its bargain, and in some situations it may even be impossible to do so. The circumstances for a breach of contract determine what will happen as a result. Sometimes the party that breached may be ordered to pay the other for damages, and bringing the case to court can achieve an order of this kind.
