Question

What are the legal differences between a material breach and an immaterial breach of contract? choose 2 answer choices.

Answer 1

The legal differences between a material breach of contract and an immaterial breach are:

• The level of the performance of the contractual obligations.
• Whether the court will discharge the contract.

What are material and immaterial breaches?

A material breach of contract refers to a breach that will damage or mess with the root purpose that the contract was signed for in the first place. An immaterial breach on the other hand, does not disturb the root purpose of the contract.

A material breach is therefore different from an immaterial breach in terms of the level of performance. If the root purpose was performed then it is less likely that this is a material breach.

Another difference relates to the discharging of the contract by the courts. If the courts discharge the contract because of the breach, then the breach was material.

Options for this question include:

• The level of the performance of the contractual obligations.
• A material breach is one that affects more than 50% of the product of the contract.
• Whether the court will discharge the contract.
• A material breach is one for which remedies are not spelled out in the contract, while remedies for an immaterial breach are specified.
