What is a Breach of Contract in Singapore?
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfil obligations under a legally binding agreement. In Singapore, breaches fall into two categories:
- Minor breach: Partial non-compliance (e.g., delayed delivery of goods or services).
- Material breach: Fundamental failure (e.g., non-payment or non-performance of contract) that is fundamental to the contract and voids the contract’s purpose.
How do you prove a breach of contract in Singapore? Some of the evidence that you may need may include the signed contract, communication records between the parties, evidence of the actions taken by the wrongful party and evidence of losses.
