Heading: Immaterial Breach

Text: The trial court suggested that because Intergraph eventually provided data after the APA deadlines, any breach of contract it committed would have been immaterial. Bentley contends that Intergraph's breaches of the APA were material, striking, it argues, at the core of the contract. The CRP maintenance agreements were the most significant asset covered by the APA, Bentley says, and Intergraph's failure to provide timely, complete, and accurate data, together with its improper renewals of maintenance agreements, threw Bentley's transition efforts into disarray and caused Bentley to spend additional effort and expense to salvage the anticipated renewals of CRP maintenance agreements with minimum lapses in coverage. Even if Intergraph's breaches of the contract could be considered immaterial, Bentley argues, Intergraph would still be liable for damages to a certain extent.
