Assignment on ACBN
The document discusses key aspects of contract and negligence law as they relate to business. It begins with an executive summary distinguishing contract and tort law. It then provides a table of contents outlining the report's structure. The main sections discuss elements of contract formation, different ways contracts can be formed, analysis of contractual terms, case studies applying contract and negligence principles, similarities and differences between contractual and tort liability, conditions for negligence, and vicarious liability. The document aims to provide a practical understanding of how contract and tort law solve business problems.
Intention notes
The document discusses how courts determine if parties intended an agreement to be legally binding. For social agreements between family/friends, there is a presumption they are not legally binding, but this can be rebutted. Business agreements are presumed to create legal relations. Exceptions where intent to form a contract may be lacking include vague promises, letters of comfort/intent depending on language, collective agreements unless in writing, and "free" gifts which courts have disagreed on how to classify.
Ch10(1)
This chapter discusses various ways that contractual obligations can be discharged or excused, including performance, breach of contract, agreement of parties, impossibility of performance, frustration of purpose, and death or destruction of subject matter. It will define key concepts like anticipatory breach, tendering performance, material and minor breaches, and mutual rescission. It will also differentiate between conditions that excuse performance and those that discharge obligations.
Aspects of contract and negligence for business

relations and behavior of people and organizations occupied with trade, marketing, exchange,
and deals. This report calls attention to the Essential Elements required for the Formation of a
contract, the distinctive sorts of agreements and their effects.

Intellectual property Rights- Tomas Costanzo
The document discusses intellectual property clauses in contracts. It defines intellectual property as creations of the mind such as inventions, literary works, designs, and symbols. The intellectual property clause states which party owns creative works like writing, music, or designs. When drafting this clause, lawyers must ensure they understand if the creator wants to assign ownership rights or simply grant a license to use the work. An assignor assigns IP rights while an assignee buys them. A licensor grants a license and a licensee is allowed limited use. The clause also addresses infringement, public domain status, and ensuring no other party has claims on the intellectual property.

Contract clauses- by Dra Daniela Zabala
- 1. Understanding Contracts II Daniela Zabala- Seminario de Ingles Jurídico 2020 Universidad Católica de Cuyo sede San Luis.
- 3. Typical Contract Clauses At the beginning of most commercial contracts there are sections that deal with: ▧ The names of the parties ▧ The background to the contract ▧ The defined terms 3
- 4. Typical Contract Clauses Then you will find the main body of the contract, that is made up of clauses. ▧ A clause that states the term of the contract, that is the duration of the contract. ▧ A termination clause, that contains information about the expiration of the contract. 4
- 5. Typical Contract Clauses ▧ A confidentiality clause or the non- disclosure clause obliges one the parties to keep confidential certain information connected with the other party. ▧ Intellectual property rights is very common in contracts under which someone as an author or a freelance designer produces creative work for a third party. Most contracts make clear who has the copyright in intellectual property. 5
- 7. Termination Clause ▧ This clause tells the parties the circumstances under which the contract can end before the agreed date. ▧ It often lists three ways in which this can happen. ▧ When a contract ends before the agreed date we say that the contract is terminated. 7
- 8. Termination Clause 1. The first way in which a contract can terminate is that one party gives notice to the other. ▧ This is a period of warning that one party is about to end the contract. ▧ It is usual to say that notice must be in writing. ▧ A typical notice period in an employment contract, for example, is four weeks. 8
- 9. Termination Clause 2. The second way in which a contract can terminate is in circumstances where one of the parties commits a material breach of the contract. ▧ A material breach is a significant breach. ▧ It is not usually possible to terminate the contract because of a minor breach. This is a small and more insignificant breach. ▧ UK courts does not consider this type of breach serious enough to end the contract. 9
- 10. Termination Clause 3. The third way in which a contract can terminate is in circumstances where one of the parties has serious problems concerning money. ▧ It states that if one the party’s business goes into liquidation, this will terminate the contract. ▧ This is to protect the party who may lose money if the contract is allowed to continue. ▧ It also may state tha if one party’s business ceases trading, then the contract will terminate. 10
