FAQ's

For contracts to be made in Canada, five conditions should be met. There should be mutual consent among all the parties involved. A contractual capacity should also be present, which is the mental ability to enforce the contract provisions. The contract should also be purposeful and must concern a specific and agreed-upon good or service. There should also be “lawful cause” or “valuable consideration.” Lastly, which is not usually required in all cases, there should be compliance in certain circumstances to formalities provided by law, such as a valid written instrument.
