Can I Sue for Breach of Contract If It’s a Verbal Agreement?" π€
πΌ Corporate & Commercial Litigation Chronicles
One of the most common questions we hear from clients is:
"If my business partner breaches a verbal agreement, can I still sue them for breach of contract?"
π‘ The Answer: YES, you can—but it’s a bit tricky. Let’s break it down:
π Verbal Contracts Are Real Contracts:
A verbal agreement can be legally binding under Indian law! π However, proving it exists is where things get challenging. You'll need:
- Witnesses who heard the agreement. π£️
- Proof of actions taken by both parties that align with the terms discussed. π
- Any supporting evidence, like emails, texts, or WhatsApp messages. π§
