Difference between revisions of "Contract Defences"

Even with the basic elements of a contract present (see the [[Contracts Overview]]), common law and statute law provide a number of grounds for a party to avoid having a contract enforced against them. These defences to contract actions give the defending party a legal excuse to get out of the contract. Without such defences, the contract would be legally enforceable. Remedies to enforce contracts are discussed in the section on [[Contract Remedies]]. (See also the sections on [[Opting Out and Cooling-off Periods]] and [[Unfair or Deceptive Practices]].)
