Breach of verbal contract ontario
For an agreement to be considered legally binding it requires an offer, an acceptance of the offer, a mutual agreement of the terms and consideration. Consideration may simply be an exchange of promises. You should ensure that there is a written “paper trail” (or electronic trail) that can prove these elements exist. Unlike other agreements, a contract is a legally binding promise; if one of the parties fails or refuses to fulfil its promise (for example, to pay the agreed price, to provide the rented space or to pay the employee's salary) without a valid reason recognized by law, the party suffering the consequence of this breach of promise may call upon the courts either to force the defaulting party to carry out its promise (specific performance) or to demand compensation in the form of damages.
