What do I need to prove in a claim for breach of contract?

  1. That a contract exists – you must be able to demonstrate that there is a legally binding agreement between the parties;
  2. That one party has failed to comply with the contract – ie, they have not kept to their side of the bargain or have fallen short of the service or standards expected;
  3. That you have suffered loss – you should be able to evidence the financial losses you have suffered as a result of the other party breaching the contract.
  4. That the loss was foreseeable – ie, the party in breach knew or ought to have known that the losses would be sustained if the breach of contract occurred.
