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 Oklahoma, but it is not impossible to have an entirely oral 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. 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.
