Everything about Breach Of Contract totally explained

Breach of contract is a legal concept in which a binding agreement or bargained-for exchange isn't honored by one or more of the parties to the contract by non-performance or interference with the other party's performance.

Minor breaches

A minor breach, a partial breach or an immaterial breach, occurs when the non-breaching party is unentitled to an order for performance of its obligations, but only to collect the actual amount of their damages. For example, suppose a homeowner hires a contractor to install new plumbing and insists that the pipes, which will ultimately be sealed behind the walls, be red. The contractor instead uses blue pipes that function just as well. Although the contractor breached the literal terms of the contract, the homeowner can only recover the amount of his damages. Since no damages were inflicted, the homeowner receives nothing. Mabes(See Jacob & Youngs v. Kent, on which this example is based.)
