WHAT IS
AN ENFORCEABLE CONTRACT?
To
be enforceable, a contract must
involve a "meeting of
the minds". One party must have made an
offer that was accepted by the party.
The material terms
of an agreement
must be agreed on before a court can
enforce the contract.
To
be enforced, the contract must
be based on
sufficient consideration,
such as the exchange of goods, promises
or other value.
