Common Questions About Commercial Contract Disputes

Key Elements of a Contract

A contract requires:

• Offer
• Acceptance
• Consideration
• Intention to create legal relations
• Certainty of terms

Both written and oral contracts are legally binding if these elements are present.

Breach of Contract

A breach occurs when one party fails to fulfil their contractual obligations. Types of breaches include:

• Minor
• Material
• Anticipatory

Force Majeure Clause

This clause excuses parties from performing obligations due to uncontrollable events, usually suspending rather than terminating the contract.

Assessing Damages

Damages aim to compensate the injured party. The court compares the claimant’s position post-breach with their hypothetical position had the breach not occurred.
