What Are the Requirements for a Standard Contract?
 
A legal contract must meet specific requirements to be enforced – whether it is a verbal or written contract.
​
To be an enforceable contract by law, a contract must meet specific criteria. Here is a closer look at how a legal contract is defined: 
​

• There must be mutual agreement by all parties.

• The contract must cover all material and have terms clearly defined.

• There must be sufficient examination of all obligations under the contract.

• The contract must not violate public and local law.

• All parties must be of sound and competent mind and of legal age to enter a contract. 

 
What happens when a party is in breach of a legal contract?
​
When the terms of a legal contract are violated, individuals have three legal courses of action – damages, rescission and specific performance. When a breach of contract results in financial loss, the plaintiff may file a lawsuit to recover monetary damages that can include financial compensation, incidental damages, attorney fees and court costs and liquidated damages. In select cases, the injured party can rescind – or cancel – the contract due to poor conduct or fraud. Specific performance is a scenario that allows the injured party to seek help from the court to enforce the performance metrics established in the contract.
