Frequently Asked Questions
In Australia, contract law covers agreements that are made between two or more parties and are legally binding. In order for a contract to be enforceable, it needs to contain certainty to its terms and encompass the following elements:
- Offer
- Acceptance
- Consideration
- Certainty
- Intention to create a legal relationship
While it is possible for contracts to be made orally, it is always preferable to have a contract in writing to avoid any misunderstandings and to ensure enforceability if things do not go as planned under the contract. In Australia, contracts are governed by common law but may also be subject to certain pieces of legislation that impact contract law.
Yes, we handle contract disputes across a range of industries and applications. As a rule of thumb, there are three avenues available to resolve contract disputes:
- Informal negotiation
- Mediation and arbitration
- The court system
Contract dispute resolution is handled on a case-by-case basis. Depending on the type of contract dispute that you are involved in, our contract lawyers will outline your options and provide a recommended course of action to secure the most favourable outcome.
In order for a contract to be enforceable, it must be deemed to be “fair”. In Australia, contracts are tested against a three-limbed test of unfairness.
- Significant imbalance
- Not reasonably necessary
- Cause detriment
Contracts that are overly long or written in terms that are not easy to navigate may also be deemed to be “unfair”. For businesses and consumers, it’s essential to understand the terms and enforceability of contracts before entering into them. For businesses or individuals that are unsure about the terms and enforceability of a contract, it’s important to consult with a legal professional who can provide proper guidance and advice.
