Contract law
Contract law is a body of law that governs the formation, enforcement, and enforcement of binding legal agreements between two or more parties. It is based on the idea that when two parties agree to something, a legally enforceable agreement is formed. Contract law covers a wide range of agreements, from the sale of goods and services to employment contracts. The key elements of a contract are an offer, an acceptance, consideration (something of value such as money or a promise to do something), and an agreement.
