Summary of Commercial Contracts and Laws Regarding Breach
The basics of contract law apply in the commercial setting. Many disputes center on common law concepts governing offer, acceptance, and consideration – and breach of the relevant terms. In addition, with commercial contracts, lawmakers at the state and federal level have enacted statutes and regulations. One of the most important is the California UCC, which covers certain transactions among designated legal entities. There are provisions regarding:
- The sale of goods;
- Leases;
- Negotiable instruments;
- Letters of credit;
- Secured transactions; and,
- Many other arrangements and transactions that commonly occur among businesses and consumers.
Acts that violate the UCC and associated regulations typically involve failure to pay, perform, or deliver according to law. Depending on your position in the transaction, a dispute or breach of terms can have significant impacts on your business.
Legal Remedies for Breach of Commercial Contract
The most common option for California businesses is seeking damages, measured by how the company has lost funds and opportunities for its losses. Our team at Litigation, P.C. can explain the basis of your remedies, including:
- Compensatory damages, which are designed to put the non-breaching party in the same position as if the breach never occurred;
- Restitution damages, which are designed to put the non-breaching party back in the same position as if the contract never existed;
- Options under for commercial transactions under the California UCC; and,
- Liquidated damages, if the parties have included provisions in a written contract.
In addition to monetary remedies, there may be equitable relief depending on the type of commercial contract breach. The aggrieved party may request specific performance to force an entity to comply with contractual terms. It is also possible to cancel the commercial contract entirely, which could lead the non-breaching party to seek damages for restitution.

During the trial, he was fully prepared every single day, explaining his thought process to us about why he was asking or not asking certain questions to all the witnesses, raising timely objections with majority of them being sustained by the Judge…At the end of the day he wanted to make sure that we put all of our ammo on the table and we were able to successfully do that.
