South African contract law : ウィキペディア英語版 | South African contract law
South African contract law is ‘essentially a modernised version of the Roman-Dutch law of contract’,〔Du Plessis, et al. p.11.〕 which is itself rooted in canon and Roman laws. In the broadest definition, a contract is an agreement two or more parties enter into with the serious intention of creating a legal obligation. Contract law provides a legal framework within which persons can transact business and exchange resources, secure in the knowledge that the law will uphold their agreements and, if necessary, enforce them. The law of contract underpins private enterprise in South Africa and regulates it in the interest of fair dealing. == Nature ==
A contract in South Africa is classified as an obligationary agreement—it creates enforceable obligations—and ought therefore to be distinguished from absolving agreements (whereby obligations are discharged or extinguished; e.g. release, novation), real or transfer agreements (whereby rights are transferred; e.g. cession), and change-in-status agreements.〔Du Plessis, et al. p.4.〕〔This classifactory scheme for agreements comes from Afrikaans legal writing which in turn comes from Dutch. In Afrikaans: ''verbintenisskeppende ooreenkoms'', ''skulddelgende ooreenkoms'', ''saaklike ooreenkoms'', and ''huweliksooreenkoms''.〕
