What Is a Breach of Contract Under California Law?
In California, a breach of contract occurs when one party to a valid, legally binding agreement fails to fulfill their obligations without a lawful excuse. California contract law is governed by the California Civil Code, and courts take contractual obligations seriously.
To successfully bring a breach of contract claim in California, four key elements must be proven:
1. A Valid Contract Existed: There must be a legally enforceable agreement between the parties, written or oral, with clear terms, mutual consent, and consideration.
2. You Performed Your Obligations: The party bringing the claim must have fulfilled — or had a valid reason not to fulfill- their own obligations under the contract.
3. The Other Party Breached the Contract: The defendant must have failed to perform their duties as required under the agreement.
4. You Suffered Damages: The breach must have caused measurable financial harm or loss to the plaintiff.
