Breach Of Contract Attorney In Ventura, California

What Constitutes A Breach Of Contract?

When a duty is not performed adequately and is essential to the main purpose of a contract, this can cause immense frustration that could have been wholly avoided. Perhaps a co-worker failed to complete a vital part of their job, or an employee performed an action prohibited by their job contract. This is a breach of contract: a failure to fulfill a contractual obligation or a failure to abide by the terms of a contractual agreement. If you’ve entered a contract with another person or company and they do not meet their expected obligations, then you have every right to contact a lawyer at the Law Office of Ball & Yorke for legal counsel. We’ll help you determine what remedies are available to you and fight on your behalf.

Breach of contract: material and immaterial

A breach of contract can be categorized as material or immaterial. This is dependent on the damages caused by the at-fault party.


Material breaches occur when the offending party fails to perform their obligations in a manner that makes it impossible to fulfill the contract. If the results of job performance or project expectations vary significantly, the breach can cause severe financial harm and you’re entitled to compensation for these damages.


Immaterial breaches, or partial breaches, occur when most, but not all, of the duties outlined in the contract have been performed adequately. You can still seek damages after an immaterial breach, but you cannot terminate the contract.
