Document Summary

Tort law was a judgement on activity based on them doing something wrong, justifying them having to pay money. Contract law is law where people don t just acquire a right or obligation, not utilitarian. The vast majority of contracts are not in writing; purchasing things (simple contracts=binding even if they aren t in writing) those in writing are called formal contracts (in interest in land since it is so fundamental and important) Cell phone contracts: = standard form contract and they have a number of problems aren t made to be read. You can t just put a contract on people, you must agree to it (fraud) It is a redundancy to say valid contract. Elements of a contract: intention to create legal relations. Family members can get out of it: offer offeror = the person who makes the offer.
