Contracts are the foundation of countless business relationships, whether you're negotiating deals, managing real estate transactions, or setting up service agreements. But what happens when one party fails to fulfill their end of the bargain? This is known as a breach of contract, and it can lead to costly disputes. If you find yourself in this situation, it's essential to understand your rights and options. At PLAINVIEW LEGAL GROUP PLLC, we specialize in breach of contract litigation in Oklahoma, and we're here to help protect your interests.

 

What is a Breach of Contract?

 

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform any term of a contract without a valid legal excuse. Breaches can take many forms, including:

 

- Failure to Deliver Goods or Services: One party does not provide the agreed-upon goods or services.

 

- Late Performance: Delays in delivering goods or completing services as specified in the contract.

 

- Non-Payment: Failing to make payments outlined in the contract.

 

- Violating Specific Terms: Breaking any conditions agreed upon in the contract, such as non-disclosure agreements or performance metrics.

 

Types of Breaches

 

Oklahoma law recognizes several types of contract breaches:

 

1. Material Breach: A significant violation that undermines the entire contract, allowing the non-breaching party to terminate the agreement and seek damages.

 

2. Minor Breach: A partial breach that may allow the non-breaching party to seek damages but does not necessarily terminate the contract.

 

3. Anticipatory Breach: When one party declares in advance that they will not fulfill their obligations, allowing the other party to take legal action before the breach actually occurs.

 

Remedies for Breach of Contract

 

When a breach occurs, the injured party has a few legal remedies available:

 

- Damages: Financial compensation for the loss caused by the breach. This can include compensatory, punitive, or liquidated damages.

 

- Specific Performance: A court order requiring the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations.

 

- Rescission: Cancelling the contract and returning both parties to their pre-contract positions.

 

- Reformation: Modifying the contract to better reflect the original intent of the parties.
