Warming up
1. How do you understand the term Contract Law?
2. What kind of contract have you entered recently?
3. What is necessary for a valid contract to be formed?
Task 1. Read the definition. How do you understand it?
Contract Law is a body of law which regulates the formation and enforcement of contracts.
from USlegal dictionary
Task 2 Read the text and pay attention on the new words and expressions:
CONTRACT LAW
Contract law deals with promises which create legal rights. In most legal
systems, a contract is formed when one party makes an offer that is accepted
by the other party. Some legal systems require more, for example that the parties
give each other, or promise to give each other, something of value. In common-
law systems, this promise is known as consideration. In those systems, a
one-sided promise to do something (e.g. a promise to make a gift) does not
lead to the formation of an enforceable contract, as it lacks consideration.
When the contract is negotiated, the offer and acceptance must match each
other in order for the contract to be binding. This means that one party must
accept exactly what the other party has offered. If the offer and acceptance
do not match each other, then the law says that the second party has made
a counter-offer (that is, a new offer to the first party which then may be
accepted or rejected). For there to be a valid contract, the parties must agree on the essential terms. These include the price and the subject matter of the contract.
Contracts may be made in writing or by spoken words. If the parties make a
contract by spoken words, it is called an oral contract. In some jurisdictions,
certain special types of contracts must be in-writing or they are not valid (e.g.
the sale of land). Contracts give both parties rights and obligations. Rights are something positive which a party wants to get from a contract (e.g. the right to payment of money). Obligations are something which a party has to do or give up to get those rights (e.g. the obligation to do work). When a party does not do what it is required to do under a contract, that party is said to have breached the contract. The other party may file a lawsuit against the breaching party for breach of contract. The non-breaching party (sometimes called the injured party) may try to get a court to award damages for the breach. Damages refers to money which the court orders the breaching party to pay to the non-breaching party in compensation. Other remedies include specific performance, where a court orders the breaching party to perform the contract (that is, to do what it promised to do).
A party may want to transfer its rights under a contract to another party. This
is called an assignment. When a party assigns ('gives') its rights under the contract to another party, the assigning party is called the assignor and the party who gets the rights Is called the assignee. [17]
