BREACH OF CONTRACT

Breach of contract requires (1) the existence of the binding, enforceable contract, (2) plaintiff’s performance or excuse for nonperformance, (3) defendant’s breach, and (4) resulting damages to the plaintiff. A contract exists, in general, when there is acceptance of a definite and firm offer.

    FRAUD AND DECEIT

    Tortious breach of contract in the ordinary commercial setting (where parties have relatively equal bargaining power) is rare. In other words, when a business party breaches a contractual term or condition, the injured party can recover the “benefit of the bargain”.

    BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY

    Breach of fiduciary duty is best illustrated by Ali v. Fasteners for Retail, Inc., 544 F.Supp.2d 1064 (C.D. Cal. 2008). The firm represented an inventor of software and circuitry that can track electronically the number and type of products removed from or remaining on store shelves.

    DEFAMATION

    Defamation claims often arise out of business disputes. Defamation occurs when one party publishes to a third-party provably false and disparaging comments about another’s character for honesty, integrity, or the like. Legally speaking, it’s the intentional publication of a false statement of fact that has a natural tendency to injure the plaintiff’s reputation or that causes special damage

    ANTI-SLAPP MOTIONS

    Defamation claims will often trigger an anti-SLAPP motion. SLAPP is an acronym for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. A SLAPP arises when a party is sued in retaliation for exercising a first amendment right of free speech or right to petition for the redress of grievances (i.e., right file claims or lawsuits).
