Contractual Intention

Contractual intention refers to the clear intention of all parties involved to create a legally binding agreement. It means that each person genuinely intends that their promises and commitments carry legal weight, so that the agreement can be enforced by law if necessary. This intention is usually demonstrated through their words, actions, and the context of the agreement. For a contract to be valid, all parties must intend to be legally bound by the terms, distinguishing genuine agreements from casual or social arrangements.
