Contract law
It is difficult to imagine going very long before making some kind of agreement enforceable by law. Whenever we buy goods and services, we enter into a contractual relationship.
1. What kinds of contract have you entered into recently? Make a list of some of the goods and services you have bought or used over the past 48 hours. Compare your list with a partner.
