Course Overview
What is a Contract?
It may be surprising to hear that we form contracts every day without even knowing!
This course will offer the opportunity to address the basics. A contract is an agreement between two or more entities which creates an obligation to do or not do a particular thing (Black’s Law Dictionary, fifth edition).
The course will consider that contracts may be oral or in writing and have just the same effect and where contracts may be void or voidable.
