Breach of Contract: Resolving Disputes Surrounding Contracts
In real estate, insurance, construction, purchase agreements and other transactions between parties (individuals or businesses), the contract establishes the terms of the agreement. When one party fails to meet those terms, the other may sue for breach of contract.

Even when the words of a contract may seem clear to one party, someone else may interpret them differently. One party may insist that all obligations under the contract have been met while the other disputes that.
Generally speaking, a contract dispute arises when one side is not doing what they said they would do or is not paying what they said they would pay. That is a greatly simplified way of talking about what can be extremely complex issues. Was the contract unfair and deceptive? Were the specifications clearly defined and understood by both parties?
'They Lied to Me' — Contracts Based on Bad Faith
If a real estate contract was based on the assumption that property was as represented, and then environmental liabilities are discovered, that could be a breach of contract. When a business or real property is sold without full disclosure, that is breach of contract. When an insurance company delays or denies contractually obligated coverage, that is bad faith.
