A contract is an agreement between two or more parties. A contract can be both written, verbal or implied. There are essentially 3 different elements needed for a breach of contract. These elements include: - The contract either written, verbal or implied
- Defendant's breach
- Damages to the plaintiff
Similar to a personal injury case a breach of contract has certain legal procedures that takes place. While each case is different the legal procedures that accompany such cases are complex. The following guidelines are generally the procedures for breach of contracts related to commerical litigation cases. - Filing a Complaint - A complaint is a cause of action. Once you've filed a complaint a cause of action is established.
- Service Of Complaint - Once a complaint is filed a summons is filed with the courts. A summons is served to the defendant or defendants.
- Response To Complaint - 30 days from the summons is served the defendant must answer to the complaint or challenge the complaint.
- Hearing Of Challenges - If the defendant or defendants decide to motion to strike, the motion must be heard and ruled upon before the matter can proceed.
- Discovery - The gathering information about either party. During the discover process the procedures include terrogatories - List of questions that you send to the opposing side. Admissions of Facts - This written list of facts that are directed towards both parties. Each party will be asked to either admit or deny each fact. Request for Production - Used to obtain documents that you may feel will benefit your case. Depositions - sworn testimony from the other party and any witnesses.
- Trial Setting - Determines whether the case is ready for trial. If the courts feel the case is ready for a trial a date will be set.
- Settlement Negotiations - Prior to the court date the courts may require both parties to try to mediate the issues. Settlement negotiations can take place anytime before the trial date.
- Trial - While most cases settle during the settlement negotations cases due make it to trial. A trial is a last resort and may be the only way to resolve the dispute.
When a plaintiff files a suit for breach of contract they are seeking compensation for mental, physical or financial suffering.
