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 Utah, but it is not impossible to have an entirely oral contract. If a contract is not fulfilled by one or more parties, there is a Breach of Contract. Parties sometimes choose not to honor their bargain during the course of business, or it may be impossible to perform. 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.
