Contracts hold a central place in how people deal with each other: we enter into many of them every day to organise our affairs and obligations. This kit covers what a legal contract is and why it matters in organising legal relationships and protecting the rights of every party.
A legal contract is the agreement of two or more wills to create a legal effect, whether creating, transferring, amending or ending an obligation. The kit walks through the types of contracts by their nature, including:
Nominate contracts
Simple contracts
Consensual contracts
Commutative contracts
Immediate contracts
Bilateral contracts
Determinate contracts
It also shows how to review a contract by understanding its essential elements and clauses, building legal awareness and helping participants deal with contracts more effectively under the regulations in force in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Lawyers and legal advisers who want a deeper grasp of contract types, drafting and review under Saudi regulations; legal, contracts and procurement staff in public and private organisations; entrepreneurs and business owners who sign contracts regularly and need to protect their rights; legal trainers looking for a practical programme on contracts.
