Recent statistics demonstrates that about 35% of lawsuits connected with breaches of contracts are rejected by courts for many reasons. The main mistake is that people signing contract don’t study thoroughly what they sign. And this makes more complications while bringing the lawsuit to court. That’s why before making any agreement you would be better to study all the positions of the contract and get enough of knowledge in the field of contractual law. Anyway, before filing a lawsuit for violation of contract you must make sure that it corresponds to all the requirements. In this situation the U.S. Attorney General would recommend to answer several questions before making serious steps.

1) what did you sign: an agreement or a contract?
An agreement can be declared a contract if it fixes some exchange between the partners (usually some payment for a certain work or service). Both parts should sign this agreement to make it valid. The conditions of contract are to be understandable and readable.

2) is it possible to enforce the contract by law?
There are some aspects which can make the contract annulled. These are: unfair inclinations of the agreement, which show that it was made under pressure; mental disability of one of the partners to make an agreement; insufficient age of one part and the like. If the person is declared to be disabled to sign the contract, it is not enforceable.

3) were any of partners intoxicated?
The thing is that the fact of intoxication is not the main argument, but it can be used by the defendant for getting a contract annulled.

4) was the contract signed under pressure by any of parties?
If some part of the agreement used threats, or other illegal methods to make the other one to sign the contract, it is to be declared being signed under pressure. And that will be the reason for annulment of the contract.

5) was the contract signed due to the excessive influence?
The defendant can avoid the responsibilities for violation of the contract if it was signed because of somebody’s excessive influence (for example, a father could force his daughter for the reason of being more experienced or with the help of some threats).

6) was any perversion applied?
The defendant can not be punished for violation of contract if the other partner deliberately concealed some relevant facts.

7) is the subject of the contract dishonest?
If the positions of the contract demonstrate obvious favor to some party, it can be declared void. But it is usually difficult to prove, so this is not a strong argument.

To sue somebody for violation of the contract is always difficult, but with the help of qualified attorney that can become obtainable.
