This could involve failure to perform services, deliver goods, or make agreed-upon payments. 2. Material Breach of Contract: In the case of a material breach, the complaining party argues that the other party violated a fundamental term of the contract, causing significant harm or loss. Material breaches often give the complaining party the right to terminate the contract and claim damages. 3. Anticipatory Breach of Contract: When one party clearly communicates, through words or actions, an intention to not fulfill their contractual obligations before the required performance, it is considered an anticipatory breach. In such cases, the injured party can file a complaint seeking damages and attorney's fees. 4. Minor Breach of Contract: Sometimes, a breach may be classified as minor if it does not significantly impact the overall purpose of the contract or cause substantial harm.

The complaint outlines the nature of the breach, the specific provisions of the contract violated, the resulting damages, and the legal basis for seeking recovery.
