FAQ
A contract will only be legally binding upon the contracting parties if the following requirements are complied with: consensus, contractual capacity, certainty, possibility, legality and formalities. 39 The above requirements will be discussed next. 39Para 1 1 above.
A contract in its most basic definition is nothing more than a legally enforceable promise. A contract where the parties exchange a promise for a promise is known as a Bilateral Contract, whereas a contract where one party gives a promise and the other party performs an act is known as a Unilateral Contract.
In order for a promise to be binding, there must be an acceptance of that promise/offer, and consideration exchanged. When these elements are combined, a contract is created, and a contract is a binding agreement which compels parties to fulfill their promises or face legal repercussions.

Someone must make a promise. Someone else must genuinely and justifiably rely on the promise. The actions that are taken in reliance on the promise must be reasonably foreseeable to the person who makes the promise. Injustice will occur if the promise isn't enforced.
Consideration for each other are called reciprocal promises: (g) An agreement not enforceable by law is said to be void: (h) An agreement enforceable by law is a contract: (i) An agreement which is enforceable by law at the option of one or more of the parties- thereto, but not at the option of the other or others, is ...
