Contract Liability Appeal Regarding Factual Examination of Breach

A party appealed a decision that held them liable for damages resulting from a contract violation, arguing that the lower court erred by not investigating the specific circumstances surrounding the alleged breach. The highest court quashed the lower court's ruling, reasoning that in a contractual dispute where liability is alleged, the trial judge must thoroughly examine the factual evidence presented by the parties to establish whether the contract was indeed breached and to determine the extent of the resulting prejudice, as merely asserting a violation is insufficient for establishing fault.
