Contractual Disputes
In business, it is daily practice to sign contracts with your suppliers, customers or contractors to name a few examples. A contract is a legally binding agreement between at least two parties. It is a common misconception that contracts must be in writing to be binding and enforceable, but they can also be verbal. If one party fails to meet its obligations under the contract, the other party may be able to make a claim for damages against them.
If you think you may have a claim for breach of contract, or have had a claim made against you, it is essential that you seek legal advice as soon as possible as time limits will have started to run. If Court proceedings have been issued, the time limits are usually strict and if they are missed, there can be serious consequences.
