Effect of Nonmaterial Breach
By contrast, when the breach is not serious enough to be material, the nonbreaching party may sue for only those damages caused by the particular breach. In addition, he does not have the right to cancel the contract, although a nonmaterial breach can give him the right to suspend his performance until the breach is remedied. Once the breach is remedied, the nonbreaching party must go ahead and render his performance, minus any damages caused by the breach.
