UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

The UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 allows individuals who are not part of a contract (third parties) to enforce certain terms if the contract explicitly states so or if the term benefits them. This means third parties can have rights and seek enforcement without needing to be directly involved in the agreement initially. However, parties to the contract can also exclude or restrict this right if they clearly specify in the contract. Overall, the Act makes it easier for third parties to benefit from and enforce contractual provisions under specific conditions.
