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. Only the one who signed or entered into the agreement with you is responsible for the damages to you.
Timeline of How to File a Lawsuit Step 1: File a Complaint. Plaintiff files a complaint and summons with the local county court. Step 2: Answer Complaint. Step 3: Discovery. Step 4: Failing to Respond to Discovery. Step 5: Conclusion of Lawsuit.
You need to answer three fundamental -- and fairly obvious -- questions as part of deciding whether it's worthwhile to bring a lawsuit to court: Do I have a good case? Am I comfortable with the idea of a compromise settlement or going to mediation? Assuming a lawsuit is my best or only option, can I collect if I win?
Here's a step-by-step guide on what to do in case of a breach of contract: Document the breach. Collect evidence. Communicate with the other party. Seek legal advice. Consider resolution outside of court. Gather and prepare documentation. Consult with an attorney. File a complaint.
You can file a lawsuit to recover your damages. You begin by filing a complaint in the appropriate civil court. A complaint is a technical legal document that describes the problem and explains the case to the judge and the other party. The complaint must then be served, i.e., delivered to the defendant.
You start a lawsuit by filing a complaint. In some circumstances, you file a petition or a motion. The court has several complaint forms that you may use in drafting your complaint. The forms are available online and at the Pro Se Intake Unit.
The relevant criteria are: There is a legally binding contract. The other party has failed to perform their duties under the contract. You have suffered loss as a result of the breach. The breach occurred within the last 6 years. Collating and preserving evidence. Reserving your rights. Taking legal advice.
The Value of the Contract: Consider whether the breach resulted in substantial financial or other losses. If the damages are minimal, the costs of litigation may outweigh the potential recovery. For example, suing over a minor inconvenience or slight delay may not be worth the effort.
Lesson Summary. A contract is a legal agreement between two or more parties in which they agree to each other's rights and responsibilities. Offer, acceptance, awareness, consideration, and capacity are the five elements of an enforceable contract.
