Course Description
Contract Law-I introduces students to basic concepts of contract law by focusing upon the formation and the scope of contractual agreements. Under the rules of formation, contractual elements of an agreement, an offer, an acceptance, and the established rules on consideration are studied. Within the context of the scope of a contract, third party rights are scrutinized focusing upon the function of the privity rule. The second part of the course engages with the content of contracts by defining contractual terms and examining its sources and classifications. This focus is concluded by taking into account exclusionary clauses and debating their functions within the context of constructing contracts.
