Vocabulary
to be in contravention/breach of something
Hello,
I assume that contravention would sound much better, but can we still use "in breach" instead of it in the sentence below?
- By accepting the money, she was in contravention of company regulations.
- They have acted in contravention of the terms of the treaty.
