Frequently Asked Questions About Contract Disputes in Scotland
Below we’ve answered some of the most common questions about contract disputes in Scotland. These quick answers can help you understand your options before you speak to one of our specialist solicitors.
What is a contract dispute?
A contract dispute arises when one or more parties disagree over the terms, obligations, or performance of a legally binding agreement. This could involve anything from non-payment to disagreements over work quality or delivery timescales.
How do I resolve a contract dispute in Scotland?
Options include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or court action. Our solicitors will assess your case, advise on the most effective strategy, and represent you in negotiations or litigation where necessary.
Can I claim damages for breach of contract?
Yes — if the other party has failed to meet their contractual obligations, you may be entitled to claim compensation for financial loss. The value of your claim will depend on the nature and extent of your losses.
How long do I have to make a claim for breach of contract?
In Scotland, the time limit (known as prescription) is generally five years from the date you became aware of the breach, although some exceptions may apply. It’s best to seek legal advice as early as possible.
What happens if there is no written contract?
Disputes can still be resolved if the agreement was made verbally or through conduct, but proving the terms may be more complex. Our team can help gather evidence and build your case.
If you’re dealing with a potential contract dispute, our Glasgow and Edinburgh lawyers can provide clear, practical advice and guide you towards the best possible resolution.
