The elements of a valid K: 1- Real Agreement : Agreement= offer + Acceptance Real:made by freewill (no mistake, duress, fraud) 2- Capacity : the legal power or ability to make a K. COT

  2. LAW 3-Legality: the subject matter of K must be legal and not against to public policy. 4-Formality : the valid K must be in the forms required by law ( be in writing) - Art 4 of D #38: K over 5000R - In U.S.A: K over $500 5-Consideration : a new legal detriment to the parties to the contract. • Legal detrimentmeans that the party does or promises to do something that he was not required to do before.

I- Interpretation of the terms of the K The special rules are created to allow for Ks to be validly formed even though some of its terms may not be clear. ☻ Why? - Hastily drafted. - Individuals without training or skill ☺The special rules provide three main ways to determine the parties’ intent: - The parties’ course of performance - The parties’ course of dealings - Usage of trade COT

  5. a- Course of performance The conduct of parties under the K which indicates what the parties intend the K to mean. (a previous conduct of the parties under the current K .) - What did they do? - How did the parties perform under K ♣- Condition: - There is K - Some parts of the K have applied by the parties. - The K has not still finished. ☻- Study Question # 5 ( p:22 ) COT

COT

  7. ☺ Although Thanna is correct about the K terms & D#38 a court could find that delivery to the restaurant was the parties’ intention. because Thanna delivered beer to the Chuon’s restaurant is the course of performance of the K. b- Course of dealing The conduct of the parties in previous K & dealings which indicates what they intent the current K to mean. ( conduct of the parties under the previous K ). ♣- Condition: - There are previous K - Those Ks have finished. ☻- Study Question # 6 ( p:23 ) COT
