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 North Dakota, but oral agreements of certain types can be the basis of a contract. When a contract is not fulfilled by one or more parties, there is a Breach of Contract. Parties sometimes choose not to fulfill their contractual obligations, and sometimes during the course of business, it can 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.
