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 Wisconsin, but it is not impossible to have an entirely oral 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 consequences for a breach of contract depend on the situation. One party may be required to pay the other for its loss, and it may sometimes be necessary to bring the matter to court.
