Legal Question in Business Law in Minnesota

Breach of Contract

If a party doesn't not fulfill the end of a contract within the statute of limitations, does that constitute a breach of contract? Example: A township removes gravel from a privately owned pit and the contract stipulates that they reclaim that area before they will be released from obligation. They take no initiative to complete that requirement and allowed the statute of limitations to run out. Does the seller of the gravel have the obligation to contact the buyer and tell them to reclaim the land, or does the seller assume the responsibility to reclaim the area, within the statute of limitations? And what statutes support the buyer's claim for breach of contract?

One attorney flagged my question and rejected it saying it was a homework assignment. Unfortunately, It is not a homework assignment. My family owns a gravel pit and this is happening to us; we are the sellers.

Re: Breach of Contract

I would want to review the contract to advise, but the normal contract Statute of Limitations is 6 years, but THAT period is the time in which the PLAINTIFF (you) would need to bring a lawsuit to enforce your rights after breach.

Call or email for further assistance.What city are you in?
