English Contract Law

English Contract Law governs agreements between parties, ensuring that promises made in a contract are legally enforceable. For a contract to be valid, it typically requires an offer, acceptance, consideration (something of value exchanged), and mutual consent. If one party fails to fulfill their obligations, the other can seek remedies like damages or specific performance in court. Contracts can be written or verbal, but certain types, like real estate sales, must be in writing. Overall, this area of law helps maintain trust and order in business and personal relationships by providing a framework to resolve disputes.
