simple contract

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:38 2006

A simple contract is any contract (see: Contract) other than a Contract of Record (see: ContractOfRecord) or a contract by deed (see: ContractByDeed). A simple contract that is written and validated by signature is sometimes called a `contract under hand'. However, many contracts are formed without such signature, by established practise. For example, a contract is formed when a purchase is made from a shop, or a railway ticket purchased.
