FAQ
Sources of contract law are grouped into four: the Constitution, federal and state statutes, federal and state case law, and administrative law.
There are two main sources of law in Australia, case law or common law, based on the decisions of judges in the superior courts, and legislation, the law made by Parliament.
Australian contract law is based on the English common law, rather than on any codified or statute law. The basic principle of Australian contract law is freedom of contract, under which parties are at liberty to strike whatever bargain they choose.
In Australia contract law is primarily governed by the 'common law', but increasingly statutes are supplementing the common law of contract - most notably, but certainly not exclusively, in the area of consumer protection.
The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent , expressed by a valid offer and acceptance ; adequate consideration ; capacity ; and legality . In some states , elements of consideration can be satisfied by a valid substitute.
Both parties must give “consideration” for a contract to be formed. If one party does not receive consideration as part of the agreement, only a mere promise has been made. Promises are not enforceable in Florida. Without the exchange of something of value between parties, there is no contract.
In Australia a key contract law concept is that the contract is the meeting of minds of the parties so that an is created between those parties. This means that only a party to a contract is bound by it and acquires rights - this is the privity of contract rule.
Contracts are made up of three basic parts – an offer, an acceptance and consideration. The offer and acceptance are what the purpose of the agreement is between the parties. A public relations firm offers to provide its services to a potential client.
