to the detriment of Company B

My comment:

aux torts de d'une des parties (FR) = against one of the parties(EN) est valable pour un jugement .( Dictionnaire juridique English- French . Dalloz.)

mais dans le cadre d'un contrat le sens change:
au détriment de .... ( FR) = to the detriment of (EN). It implies a damage but is not exactly the same for lawyers :). Usually detriment caused to a person place the person in the position of seeking damages

My comment:

Literally, it means that Company B is automatically at fault. There may be a better way to express that.
