What Does Breach of Contract Mean?

January 10, 2018/in Business & Corporate

 

This week, David Weigel explains what it means when there is a breach of contract.

What is a Breach of Contract?

A breach of contract is when one party to the contract fails to comply with the terms of the contract. This means a party has failed to do something they were obligated to do, or they are doing something they had undertaken not to do.

Benefit of the Bargain

Once it has been established that a breach of contract has occurred, the next step is to access if any damages are due to the non-breaching party. The damages to the non-breaching party are typically calculated on the basis of the benefit of the bargain. This is done by putting the non-breaching party back in the position they would have been in had the breach never occurred.

Other Damages

There are a number of other terms that could be included in the contract that can also impact damages. For example, there could be a liquidated damages clause in the contract that sets a fixed penalty amount that the non-breaching party will receive.

Other examples include awards of attorney fees if there is litigation in the case of a breach,  injunctive relief clauses in employment and non-compete clauses, or specific performance in Real Property cases.  Punitive damages are typically not awarded in contracts cases.

In conclusion, evaluating a breach of contract claim requires a full understanding of the contract in question and all of the provisions that can impact potential damages.

April 12, 2017/in Business & Corporate, DUPD University, Legal Minute Blog, News, Uncategorized

This week, Mark J. Palumbo explains Underinsured and Uninsured Coverage. When reviewing your auto insurance policy, it is important to understand that your coverage can vary based on your policy. Uninsured coverage protects you from drivers that have no insurance. On the other hand, Underinsured coverage helps protect you if you are hit by another driver that does not have enough insurance to cover your damages.

We here at Davis, Upton & Palumbo LLC, strive to obtain the compensation to which you are entitled. If you need assistance, advice on your coverage, or just want to learn more about our services on Motor Vehicle Accidents,

April 5, 2017/in Business & Corporate, DUPD University, Legal Minute Blog, Litigation, Uncategorized

He explains that there are many different discovery devices that a party can use during this stage of the process. These devices can include serving written interrogatories, requesting the production of documents, depositions, and more.

Knowing the stages of the litigation process is crucial to any legal matter. With many years of experience, we have a thriving litigation practice in which we help resolve on a wide variety of disputes. You can find out more about our services by clicking here or by contacting us today!

Do Grandparents Have Rights to Visitation?

February 15, 2017/0 Comments/in Business & Corporate, DUPD University, Family & Domestic, Uncategorized

This week, Stephanie B. Noronha discusses whether or not grandparents have rights to visitation. She explains that parents have the fundamental right to parent their children and control decisions regarding a child’s upbringing. This includes custody and visitation rights of his or her child.

Family and domestic situations can be stressful, contentious and emotional.
