A breach of contract refers to the failure of one party to fulfill its responsibilities under the terms of a contract, that leads to legal consequences and potential remedies for the non breaching party. In simple terms, it's when one party doesn't do what they promised to do in a contract.

A breach of contract can take various forms, including:

  1. Material Breach
  2. Minor Breach
  3. Anticipatory Breach
  4. Actual Breach.

Hello,


I'm assuming you mean that you wrote wrong question booklet number in CA Foundation Maths exam and then corrected it using a whitener and wrote the correct number over it. If this is the case, then you don't need to worry as such mistakes happen a lot among students every year and as we cannot replace the OMR sheet, the invigilators suggest to use whiteners.

It's perfectly normal and acceptable. You need not worry about anything.

Hope this helps,

Thank you
