contract breaches
Broken legal promises
Contract breaches are failures to fulfill the terms of a legally binding agreement.
A breach may be minor—a late delivery, a missed deadline—or material, where fundamental obligations go unmet.
The breaching party typically owes damages to compensate the injured party: The lawsuit alleged multiple contract breaches over the five-year period.
In serious cases, breaches may void the entire agreement.
