A contract dispute occurs when one party believes the other has failed to perform their obligations, whether through late delivery, defective goods or services, non-payment, or outright refusal to perform. It can also arise from disagreement over how a contract term should be interpreted. Most contract disputes in Singapore start with a Letter of Demand before escalating further, depending on the dispute resolution clause in the contract.
