Study Notes
Definition of Contract
- A contract is a legally binding agreement between parties that creates mutual obligations.
- Contracts can be established through writing, verbal communication, or conduct.
Types of Contracts
- Consensual Contracts: Most contracts do not require formalities, relying on mutual consent.
- Formal Contracts: Certain contracts must adhere to specific forms, such as company contracts, which must be written.
Legal Binding Requirements
- An agreement does not always need to be in writing to be legally binding.
- Exceptions exist where writing is necessary for specific types of contracts.
Everyday Examples of Contracts
- Purchasing goods at a supermarket forms a contract, even without written or spoken agreements.
- Entering a bus or train also constitutes an informal contract.
- Using a vending machine to buy snacks or drinks creates a binding contract through conduct rather than explicit communication.
Types of Legislative Interpretation
- Issued by the Legislator: Interpretation provided directly by the law-making authority.
-
Issued by Delegated Parties:
- Specialized Delegation: Examples include specific committees like the 'high committee of ministry of housing' tasked with interpreting laws relevant to their domain, such as the 'law of lease of places'.
- General Delegation: Broader interpretations through administrative documents, such as instructions, leaflets, and periodic publications.
Ways of Interpretation
-
Internal Ways:
- Strict Interpretation: Focuses on the legal meaning of statutes rather than their linguistic interpretation.
- Legislation may vary significantly between societies due to different traditions and cultural contexts.
- Laws can include provisions that allow violations without immediate enforcement or sanctions, indicating a level of flexibility in legal adherence.
