FAQ
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.
To that end, several key elements constitute contract formation; contract law is shaped by considerations of public policy, and parties involved, such as the offeror, must be aware of these legal principles. Those elements are offer, consideration, acceptance, and mutuality.
Examples of these general principles of law are laches, good faith, res judicata, and the impartiality of judges.
Overview: For a contract to be legally binding, and therefore enforceable, it needs to satisfy four principles: offer, acceptance, consideration and the intention to create legal relations. Consideration requires the exchange of something of value and to make a contract there has to be a clear intention.
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. In some states, elements of consideration can be satisfied by a valid substitute.
A contract must receive such an interpretation as will make it lawful, operative, definite, reasonable, and capable of being carried into effect, if it can be done without violating the intention of the parties.
Approval in Principle means the initial acceptance or sanction detailed under a certain clause.
The principal is often the owner of the project, whether an individual, corporation, governmental entity, or any organization seeking to undertake a Capital Project.
Coercion, threats, false statements or improper persuasion by one party to a contract can void the contract.
For a contract to be valid and enforceable in California, all parties must enter into the agreement voluntarily. If one of the contracting parties can prove that they entered into the contract under duress, coercion, or undue influence, the court may cancel or revoke the contract.
