In instances of a contract dispute, the first step should be to seek an amicable agreement through dialogue in an attempt to reach an agreement on the dispute. If there is a breach of contract then there can be a claim for damages due to loss suffered. If an amicable agreement cannot be reached then alternative dispute resolution should be attempted before Court intervention.
Contract disputes can be resolved through amicable reconcilliation, through alternative dispute resolution or through the Courts intervention.
A contract dispute arises where one party believes that another party has breached the terms and conditions of a contract.
Yes, if you believe the terms and conditions of the contract are illegal or unenforceable, you can challenge a contract. Ultimately, a contract dispute will be resolved through Court intervention unless the dispute can be settled outside of court.
If one party believes that the other party has breached the contract, a dispute can arise. If the dispute cannot be resolved outside of court, the court will decide how to resolve the matter.
There are circumstances which can void a contract, such as, whether a party was coerced to sign the contract or under influence, if there was information withheld before the contract or if one of more parties do not have the capacity to enter the contract. If there is a significant breach of the contract this can also cause the contract to become void.
