If you are being sued for breach of contract in Georgia, you have several options for defending yourself.
- You can argue that you did not actually breach the contract. This might involve showing that you complied with all of the terms of the contract, that the other party also breached the contract, or that the contract was impossible to perform.
- You can argue that the contract was invalid or unenforceable. This might involve showing that the contract was entered into under duress or coercion, that it violates a law or public policy, or that it was fraudulent or unconscionable.
- You can argue that the other party's claim is barred by the statute of limitations. In Georgia, the statute of limitations for breach of contract claims is typically six years.
- You can argue that the other party waived its right to sue for breach of contract. For example, if the other party continued to accept your performance under the contract after you allegedly breached it, they may have waived their right to sue.
- If the contract has an arbitration clause, you can argue that the dispute should be decided through arbitration rather than litigation. This can be a quicker and less expensive process than going to court.
It is important to note that these options may not be available in all cases, and there may be other defenses or counterclaims that you can assert depending on the specific facts of your case. It is also important to consult with an experienced attorney who can help you evaluate your options and develop a strategy for defending against the breach of contract claim.
