Which scenario illustrates a valid breach of contract?

A valid breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations as specified in the agreement. In the scenario where one party fails to deliver goods on time, it constitutes a breach because they have not met the contractual requirement of timely delivery. This lapse can result in damages to the other party, who may have relied on the timely fulfillment of the contract.

In contrast, when a party completes all terms as agreed, there is no breach; the contractual obligations have been honored. Similarly, if the parties mutually agree to change the agreement or all conditions have been renegotiated, those actions imply that the parties are modifying the original terms rather than breaching them. In fact, mutual amendments generally indicate cooperation and a willingness to adapt rather than failure to comply with the original contract.

Thus, the scenario depicting the failure to deliver goods on time accurately reflects a breach of the contractual obligations and exemplifies a valid scenario of such an occurrence.
