Unexpected Breach of Contracts

September 23, 2022

Breach of ContractsAn unexpected breach of contract can happen for various reasons, not the least of which include missed deadlines, unforeseen complications, bad operational assumptions, new external problems like surprise regulations or lawsuits, or plain bad performance on the part of one or more of the contractors.

However, what makes the difference in minor issues versus big ones comes down to whether the unexpected breach is material, i.e., the contract cannot continue to go forward or be completed as a result. The Law Office of Robert Eckard & Associates P.A. or similar is needed to help with recovery.

Breach of Contract

A common example of a breach agreement is the delivery of goods or services at a location. Let us assume a contract has the delivery set for a specific date for a wedding, and the contractor is expected to provide both food and catering services. At the very last minute, before the wedding starts, the contractor calls the party and tells them the van broke down, the food spoiled, and they will not show up.

This is a classic material breach. It was not expected, the contract could not be completed any other way, the hiring party is damaged by a bad wedding experience and loss of money paid.

On the other hand, with the same example, the contractor loses the food but provides a substitute with takeout food, provides the service, arrives on time, and caters for the event. The food was not exact, but the contract was fundamentally performed. So, technically, it could be argued there was not a material breach.

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
