How do you start a breach of contract claim?

To bring a claim for breach of contract we will need to prove:

  1. That you had a contract;
  2. That the terms of the contract were breached, and;
  3. That the breach caused you to suffer a loss.

You would also need to show that you have mitigated your loss as far as possible. If that has not been done, you may not be able to claim losses that might have been avoided with reasonable mitigation.
