What Counts as a Breach in California?
A contract breach occurs when a party fails to do what the agreement requires—or does it late, poorly, or not at all.
Material breach
Material: Hits the core benefit, lets the non-breaching party suspend performance and pursue broader remedies.
Minor breach
Minor: Still recoverable, but performance often continues.
Statute of limitations (CA): Written contracts: 4 years. Oral contracts: 2 years. Act early—evidence fades and leverage shifts.
