Study Notes
Understanding Contracts and Obligations
- Contracts are agreements between parties, where one party agrees to give something or do something in exchange for something else.
- Parties must have legal capacity to enter contracts.
- Consent in a contract must be intelligent, free, genuine and voluntary.
- Essential elements of a contract include offer and acceptance, object and legal cause.
Essential Elements of a Contract
- Consent: A meeting of the minds between the parties, indicating agreement on the terms and conditions. The consent must be intelligent, free, spontaneous and real. This includes the legal capacity of the parties.
- Object: The subject-matter of the contract must be lawful, and permissible according to law and morals.
- Cause/Consideration: The reason or purpose for entering into the contract. Typically this is the price or the exchange value.
Vices of Consent
- Violence: Serious or irresistible force used in procuring consent.
- Intimidation: Threat to person or family of person to force consent.
- Mistake: Lack of knowledge of the subject-matter, or ignoring a fact of the subject-matter.
- Fraud: Deceitful statements or actions used to induce consent.
- Undue Influence: Overpowering the will of a party to induce them in entering a contract.
Perfection of a Contract
- Contracts are perfected by mere consent. The moment there is agreement (offer and acceptance) the contract is formed.
Stages of a Contract
- Generation/Negotiation: Preliminary stage or processes such as bargaining.
- Perfection: The birth of the contract (offer and acceptance coincide).
- Consummation: Fulfillment of the contract's objectives.
Characteristics of a Contract
- Obligatory Force: Parties are legally bound to fulfill their obligations.
- Autonomy of Contracts: Parties have freedom to determine the terms of a contract, as long as they comply with legal requirements.
- Mutuality of Contracts: The contract must bind both parties equally.
- Relativity of Contracts: Contracts only bind the parties who agreed to them. A third party is not bound.
Defective Contracts
- Rescissible Contracts: Valid contracts but can be voided due to external factors (e.g. damage to a party or third party) .
- Voidable Contracts: Valid contracts but subject to annulment due to vitiation of consent (e.g. fraud, violence).
- Unenforceable Contracts: Contracts not enforceable due to lack of formality, or failure to meet conditions (like writing requirements).
- Void Contracts: Contract doesn't exist in law because the object, intent, or cause is illegitimate (or void ab initio, meaning from the beginning).
Simple Contract Example
- A simple contract example could include a sales agreement for a product at a particular price.
- The essential elements of a simple contract are consent, the object of the contract (the item to be bought/sold), and the cause or price.
Scenarios Vitiating Consent
- Scenarios that can cause consent to be invalid include coercion, intimidation, fraud, undue influence, and unilateral mistakes.
