Common Law 1

Introduction

A contract is considered to be an agreement that is seemed to be entered by two parties o their own accord, where agreement is passed between those two parties under specific terms and conditions, and where the conditions of that agreement are enforceable. People and their companies are liable to those persons with whom they build an agreement, for their violations of that contract. They are supposed to be liable to third parties for such breaches.

Task 1

Voidable, Void, Valid and Unenforceable Contract

A void contract, is not a contract in actual and it can also be termed as void agreement. It is not enforced by law. Void contracts divert from the rules of voidable contracts which is comprised of invalidate contracts.

In order to conduct an illegal act, the agreement signed between the parties is an example of a void contract. For example, when there is a contract takes place between drugs supplier and the purchaser, than this contract is a void contract due to the illegal terms of the contract. In this type of case, party can never ask for the support of the court for imposing the agreement (Hutchison, 2009.p.136-143).

According to law, a deal that is voidable is supposed to be valid, but still can be considered invalid by one of the opposing parties to the contract. Voidable is considered to be an agreement that is mostly different from void and unenforceable.

An example of an unenforceable contract is a contract that can be prostituted under English law. English law does not consider prostitution as a crime. Even though both requesting a prostitute as well as income of a prostitute are illegal offences but with the duration till the contract gets performed completely, it stays valid. On the other hand, in such a case when it is refused to completely perform the agreement then the court is not responsible to help the failed party. For having a valid contract, a clear agreement is needed and joint agreement to substitute things of significance (Steingold, & Bray, 2005.p.233-245).

The principles of offer and acceptance say that when a person offers another person for an agreement with their own willingness and the other person accepts the offer on certain terms, without further discussion, than a contract is formed.
