Talk:Material breach

The former definition said: "serious enough to destroy the value of the contract and to give a basis for a lawsuit."

I don't think of "materiality" as affecting the ability to file a lawsuit or to collect damages. Any breach may be fought over in a lawsuit, and any breach can give rise to damages. Only a breach serious enough to be "material" allows termination of the agreement by the non-breaching party.

I've deleted referece to treatises as they are either subject to the Anglo-American law of contract, or not.
