History of contract law : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of contract law The history of contract law dates back to Ancient civilizations. ==Ancient law==
English contract law's history was heavily influenced by Ancient Greek and Roman thought. In ''The Laws'', Plato devoted little attention to forms of agreement, but recognized the same basic categories for cancelling agreements as exist today. Roman law identified discrete categories of contractual transaction, each with its own requirements, which needed to be fulfilled in order for promises to be enforced. The general kind, ''stipulatio'', required various words to be used to generate an obligation, or in a ''contractus litteris'' it could be written down. There were four categories of consensual agreement,〔(''emptio venditio''), hire (''locatio conductio''), partnership (''societas'') and mandate (''mandatum'')〕 and four kinds of contract creating property rights, such as a pledge (''pignus'') or a secured loan (''mutuum''). More than appeared from the general rules in Ancient Greece, Roman law represented an early division between specific kinds of contract, depending on the transaction's nature.〔See further B Nicholas, ''An Introduction to Roman Law'' (Clarendon 1963) 165-193〕
