When does a delay in performance become so unreasonable as to constitute a material breach of the contract and excuse future performance by the non-breaching party? The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit recently addressed what evidence should be examined to determine if a delay in a party’s performance equates to a material breach in the absence of specific dates for performance. International Production Specialists, Inc. v. Schwing America, Inc., No. 07-3632, 2009 Westlaw 276 7143 (7th Cir. September 2, 2009). Submitted by Daniel P. King.

Federal contractors and subcontractors will be required to begin using the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ E-Verify system starting September 8, 2009, to verify their employees’ eligibility to work legally in the United States. Only contractors who are awarded a new contract with an E-Verify clause are subject to the new rule.
