The law of contract is the body of legal rules governing the conclusion and consequences of contracts. The South African law of contract is derived largely from the Roman law of obligations.
A breach of contract may take place when a party to the contract:
- fails to perform their obligations under the contract in whole or in part
- behaves in a manner which shows an intention not to perform their obligations under contract in the future or
- the contract becomes impossible to perform as a result of the defaulting party’s own act.
