Collect evidence proving your position Both sides need to get evidence to prove their side. This could be the contract itself or proof of a verbal agreement, receipts or bills showing expenses, letters, emails, other written communication, pictures, and witness statements.
You need to sue the person or business who signed or entered into and then breached the contract. Generally, someone cannot sue a third party they do not have a contract with.
"Contract" means any written instrument or electronic document containing the elements of offer, acceptance, and consideration to which an agency is a party.
To recover on a breach of contract claim, a plaintiff must demonstrate: (1) a contract was formed; (2) plaintiff performed any conditions precedent; and (3) the defendant breached the contract.
The Four Elements of a Breach of Contract Claim A valid contract. Performance by the party. Breach of the contract. Resulting damages.
Every case is obviously different but, in general, most parties to a breach of contract action agree that (1) a contract exists, (2) the contract is enforceable and not void, and (3) that they performed under the contract.
If one party neglects to fulfill the obligations outlined in the document, the non-breaching party may elect to terminate the contract. This may occur because the breaching party was unable to fulfill their responsibilities, or they did not fulfill them to the standard outlined and expected by their contract.
The obligations under the contract continue to be binding. When the breach of contract is a serious breach or a breach of an essential term, the other party will have a right to terminate the contract or keep the contract going.
