Contract Law
A contract, whether verbal or in writing, is a legally binding agreement enforceable in a court of law. In order to have a legally enforceable agreement, the law requires that both parties be competent and there needs to be an offer, acceptance and consideration. A breach of a contract occurs when one party fails to abide by the terms of the contract.

Enforcing Your Contractual Rights
