BMT: 387-09-09
Task 1(P1)
A contract may be defined as an agreement which legally binds the parties. A party to a contract is bound because he has agreed to be bound. The underlying theory then is that a contract is the outcome of ‘consenting minds’. Parties are not judged by what is in their minds what they have said, written or done.
Contracts are sometimes referred to as enforceable agreements. This too is somewhat misleading. True to the concept of both the common law principles and English law principles, parties to a contract must a mutual relationship and therefore English law will not usually allow one party to force the other to fulfill his part of the bargain. He will usually be restricted to the remedy of damages.
What are the different types of business Agreement?
Different types of business agreements
Are there any other agreements and different types of contracts apart from?
Unilateral - 1 person has obligation to perform a certain act which does not have to be reciprocated by the other party performing an obligatory act.
Bilateral - both parties have duties to perform a specific act in response to each other.
Specialty - formal contracts done by deed. These kinds of contracts come in transactions involving real estates and other assets.
Simple – this form of contracts does not require any writing and or specialty features.
Standard - business forms, invoices bills are good examples. This is an extreme form of unilateral contracts. Loan processing is one very good example.
A business (also known as enterprise or firm) is an organization engaged in the trade of goods, services, or both to consumers. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, in which most of them are privately owned and administered to earn profit to increase the wealth of their owners.
