- W137206562 abstract "This chapter provides an overview of the law of contract, discusses how it relates to other areas of the law, and describes the general principles on which the English law of contract operates. Two of the biggest areas of the civil law are contract and tort. A plaintiff will sue a defendant in contract or tort when he objects to something the defendant has done or failed to do. Sometimes the plaintiff will not have spared a thought for the defendant—indeed may very well not know the defendant—before the objectionable act or omission occurs. On other occasions, the plaintiff and defendant are parties to a contract, so that before the objectionable event occurs the parties have agreed what their legal obligations to one another shall be in certain defined circumstances. A contract is a promise or a set of promises that the law will enforce; it is the legal relationship between the parties. The law of contract does not peer into the minds of contracting parties to see what they really intended to contract to do; it contents itself with taking an objective view and, on the basis of what the parties have said and done, and the surrounding context in which they did so, the courts decide what the parties should be taken to have intended. The court asks whether, in the eyes of the law, they should be considered to have been in agreement." @default.
