A contract dispute occurs when two or more parties disagree on the terms or execution of a contract. This disagreement can arise from misunderstandings, differing interpretations, or failure to meet obligations outlined in the agreement. Common issues include payment disputes, quality of work, or timelines. Resolving contract disputes often involves negotiation, mediation, or legal action. Parties may seek to clarify the terms of the contract or find a compromise. If these methods fail, they may take the matter to court, where a judge will interpret the contract and make a binding decision.
