🧭 1. Introduction
A Breach of Contract Notice is a formal document used to notify a party that they have failed to fulfill the agreed terms of a contract. It serves as an official warning before taking legal action. Whether it’s related to employment, services, or partnership, sending a well-drafted notice can resolve disputes without court involvement.
📜 2. Types of Breaches in Contract Law
While the term “license” isn’t directly applicable here, different types of breaches exist:
- Minor Breach: Partial failure to perform a small part of the contract.
- Material Breach: A serious failure that permits the other party to sue.
- Anticipatory Breach: When one party indicates they won’t fulfill the contract in the future.
- Actual Breach: When a party fails to fulfill the contract terms on the due date.
👥 3. Who Needs to Send a Breach of Contract Notice?
- Freelancers & consultants
- Businesses with vendor/service agreements
- Employers/Employees in dispute
- Landlords or tenants
- Contractors and subcontractors
Sending this notice shows you tried to settle the matter legally before escalating it.
