What is Contract Law?

Contracts (115A-115B) provides an overview of the means by which individuals enter into contracts and become subject to contractual obligations; the ways in which contractual terms are interpreted; the methods by which these obligations are satisfied, modified, or revoked; the rights and obligations of non-contracting parties; and the remedies for failure to fulfill contractual duties.
