A contract can be written or verbal. It is an agreement between two or more parties to perform specific acts and is enforceable by law. The six prerequisites for a legally binding contract under Australian Law are: agreement (offer and acceptance); consideration (the payment of a sum of money etc.); capacity (being of legal age and sound mind to enter legal relations); intention (the parties to the contract intend to enter legal relations); formalities (representation in writing) and certainty.
