What type of breach is it? Can the contract be terminated?
Perhaps the most common mistake we see with clients is that assume that a breach of contract by the other party means they can terminate the agreement as of right and recover all losses, including loss of profit claims.The right to terminate an agreement does not arise just based on any breach.

Remedies for breach of contract
If your contract dispute cannot be quickly and suitably resolved, you have suffered losses and want to consider whether you can lawfully terminate, the options will generally include :
- Claiming damages.
- Terminate the contract – to do so you will either need to be confident the other party has repudiated the agreement.
- Specific performance – this is an equitable (discretionary) remedy where the court orders a party in breach to perform according to contractual obligations.
- Applying for an Injunction – a court order requiring a property to immediately cease an activity or to immediately take action.
