Minor Breach
A "Minor Breach" refers to a small violation of a contract or agreement that does not significantly impact the overall purpose of the contract. This type of breach typically involves minor issues, such as late delivery of goods or slight deviations from specifications. While it may require correction, it usually does not warrant severe penalties or termination of the contract.
In legal terms, a minor breach is often contrasted with a "Material Breach," which has more serious consequences. Remedies for a minor breach may include compensation for damages or specific performance, allowing the contract to continue with minimal disruption.
