Based in Sacramento, California, attorney John S. Poulos has earned several Super Lawyer awards for his work in commercial litigation. As a partner in the Sacramento firm of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, John S. Poulos is experienced in cases of breach of contract. Breaches of contract come before a judge when one party claims a failure of the other party to fulfill part or all of a contract, without a legal excuse. Breaches are classified as material or minor. A material breach occurs when one party obtains a good or service different than what the contract promised. For instance, providing tennis balls instead of the specified footballs could constitute a material breach. The aggrieved party would no longer have to fulfill the contract’s terms and is eligible for remedies. By contrast, a minor breach can involve the provision of a good or service that does not match the terms of the contract. For example, the delivery could be later than desired by the non-breaching party. This could happen in contracts that did not specify a time of fulfillment. If a delay is ruled minor, the non-breaching party could receive damages
