Legal Advice

Introduction

There are cases where contract law is applicable and when it is not. It depends on the nature of the agreement as to whether a contract is required or not. This is the reason, there are contract breaches because in many cases there is no written contract. The cases discussed in this paper are also of the same nature. In many situations, there was no written contract which means that there was a huge chance of breach of contract, which occurred. In many situations, Alan defaulted and did not pay the amount, he was supposed to pay.

Every contract cannot be enforced by the court for the enforcement of promises, or an agreement court observes some elements. Court will prove that agreement as a contract after having a check on these elements. The contract involves a process of certain elements. The process starts from an offer.

Depending on which system applies, there are several important differences in principle ...
