Cuando esto ocurre, se conoce como \u2018incumplimiento\u2019 del contrato. La mayor\u00eda de los buenos contratos abordan lo que ocurre si una de las partes incumple el acuerdo. A menudo, esa cl\u00e1usula permite a las partes acudir a los tribunales para determinar si el incumplimiento de la otra parte estaba justificado y, en caso contrario, cu\u00e1nto debe pagar en concepto de da\u00f1os y perjuicios a la otra parte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hasta hace poco, los tribunales que juzgaban los casos de incumplimiento de contrato en Florida aplicaban la misma prueba de tres elementos que se ense\u00f1a a los estudiantes de primer a\u00f1o de Derecho en todo el mundo: 1) \u00bfexiste un contrato v\u00e1lido?; 2) \u00bfse ha incumplido el contrato?; y 3) \u00bfel incumplimiento ha causado da\u00f1os? El tribunal no se preocupaba por la gravedad del incumplimiento. Por lo general, los tribunales trataban de la misma manera cualquier incumplimiento, desde el m\u00e1s leve hasta el m\u00e1s grave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En este mundo, los incumplimientos materiales \u2014aquellos que son tan graves y catastr\u00f3ficos que perjudican seriamente el contrato o incluso lo invalidan desde el principio\u2014 se consideraban iguales a los incumplimientos inmateriales \u2014aquellos que son menores o no lo suficientemente graves como para invalidar el contrato\u2014. Independientemente de que el incumplimiento fuera material o inmaterial, la parte demandante pod\u00eda solicitar una indemnizaci\u00f3n por da\u00f1os y perjuicios y otras medidas, como exigir a la otra parte que cumpliera con sus obligaciones en virtud del contrato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sin embargo, lo que ha comenzado a suceder en Florida es que algunos tribunales han empezado a exigir que el incumplimiento sea sustancial para justificar tanto la indemnizaci\u00f3n por da\u00f1os y perjuicios como la reparaci\u00f3n del incumplimiento. Cuando se trata de un incumplimiento no sustancial (o parcial), la parte demandante solo puede reclamar una indemnizaci\u00f3n por da\u00f1os y perjuicios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Esto ha puesto de relieve la diferencia entre incumplimientos materiales e inmateriales de una manera clara y pr\u00e1ctica. Ahora, para que un incumplimiento material sea susceptible de acci\u00f3n judicial, el demandante debe demostrar que el incumplimiento del demandado afect\u00f3 a un elemento esencial del contrato. Es decir, que el demandado no hizo algo necesario y esencial, o que hizo algo que estaba expl\u00edcitamente prohibido por una disposici\u00f3n esencial del contrato. Los incumplimientos inmateriales que no afectan a ning\u00fan elemento esencial del contrato son, precisamente, inmateriales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lo que resulta a\u00fan m\u00e1s sorprendente es que la Suprema Corte de Justicia de Florida no ha adoptado este requisito de importancia relativa en ning\u00fan caso. Sin embargo, ha permitido que se incorpore en sus instrucciones est\u00e1ndar para que los jurados lo tengan en cuenta cuando deliberen sobre un caso de incumplimiento de contrato. Las implicaciones de este cambio no se limitan a Florida. Los tribunales federales de otras jurisdicciones que tienen que aplicar la legislaci\u00f3n de Florida en casos de incumplimiento de contrato ya se han enfrentado a esta anomal\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La evoluci\u00f3n de la materialidad ha pasado de que lo material y lo inmaterial tuvieran significados diferentes, pero recibieran el mismo trato por parte de los tribunales, a que las infracciones materiales e inmateriales tuvieran significados diferentes. <em>y<\/em> ser tratado de manera diferente en un litigio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Independientemente de si son materiales o inmateriales, los incumplimientos de contratos que afectan a su negocio siguen siendo muy graves y relevantes para usted. Solo por esta raz\u00f3n, si se enfrenta a una situaci\u00f3n en la que una de las partes de su contrato incumple o en la que se le acusa de ser la parte incumplidora, merecer\u00eda mucho la pena ponerse en contacto con Campbell Law Group para obtener el asesoramiento legal que sin duda necesitar\u00e1.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For as long as there have been contracts, there have been parties to those contracts who have failed to abide by them\u2014whether purposefully or otherwise.
