Disputes generally arise where one party breaches the terms of an agreement or where a term of an agreement is ambiguous or unclear as to rights and obligation of the parties to the agreement.
There are circumstances where a contract is contrary to the law, for instance where an employment agreement contains terms in contradiction of a particular award, or where a retail shops lease contains a ratchet clause. Ratchet clauses are not allowed under the Retails Shops Act (WA).
Our contract litigation lawyers have the experience in handling breach of contract disputes and can provide you with clear advice on your prospects of success and the prosecution of your claim if you are the aggrieved party or, alternatively, if the allegations are made against you, we can vigorously defend a misplaced claim or otherwise work hard to minimise the loss to you.
We also appreciate that sometimes a contractual dispute does not mean that the relationship is necessarily over. Sometimes firm, yet careful, negotiation maintains an ongoing relationship after the dispute has been resolved.
We can assure you that you will have a full understanding of your legal rights and options available, which will hopefully minimise the disruption to you or your business due to the contract dispute.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of contract disputes that we are able to advise our clients:
Sometimes there are legitimate grounds to unilaterally terminate a contract.
There may be damages awarded
Requiring the other party to perform their particular contractual obligations.
This is usually sought in urgent circumstances, where the other party needs to be restrained from doing something.
We are able to provide representation in the following jurisdictions: – Magistrates Court, District Court, State Administrative Tribunal, Federal Court and Supreme Court.
The relevant jurisdiction will depend upon the nature of the dispute and the amount of money sought.
