Lesson Summary. A contract is a legal agreement between two or more parties in which they agree to each other's rights and responsibilities. Offer, acceptance, awareness, consideration, and capacity are the five elements of an enforceable contract.
Rwanda now has a hybrid legal system: it has a civil-law history but is making efforts to move toward a common-law system. New legislation follows common-law principles. In a major step toward integrating common-law practices, Rwanda introduced the use of precedent.
There are four essential elements of forming a contract: offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations. Beyond this, the terms of the contract must also be unambiguous, and the parties must have the mental capacity to agree.
The notice period for termination is determined by the employee's length of service: For employees with less than one year of service, a minimum of 15 days' notice is required. For employees with more than one year of service, a minimum of 30 days' notice is required.
A contract is an agreement between parties, creating mutual obligations that are enforceable by law. The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality.
Both parties must clearly understand and agree to the terms outlined in the contract. Additionally, consideration, or something of value exchanged between the parties, must be present to support the contract's validity. Moreover, legality and the capacity of the parties involved are essential components to consider.
For a contract to be valid and recognized by the common law, it must include certain elements-- offer, acceptance, consideration, intention to create legal relations, authority and capacity, and certainty. Without these elements, a contract is not legally binding and may not be enforced by the courts.
The statutory notice period in Rwanda is 15 days' notice for employees within the first year of service, increasing to one month following the completion of one year of service. It is not permitted to serve notice during the probation period.
