The Common Law Of Contracts (UCC)

Decent Essays
The common law of contracts means that they are “principals developed by the courts to control contract formation, performance, breach, and remedies in cases. This judge-made law affects many types of contracts, including real property, service, employment, and general business contracts” (Reed et al., 2013 p.236). The UCC stands for Uniform Commercial Code and covers contracts that deal with the sale of goods. It is a state based legislation that assists with contract law.

    Critical Review: The Common Place of Law The Common Place of Law is an interesting empirical research of legal consciousness that is actually a very strong logical theory, in which law is recognized as both constituting and being constituted by social relations and cultural practice. The question that Ewick and Silbey spawn their theory from comes from the classic question, “how is the law experienced” rather than “what is the law,” this was a very compellingly argument made by Ewick and Silbey. The latter question that I saw arise from their argument was from where did most of the classic legal theory and jurisprudence; and did they spring from the subset question “how is the law experienced”. Seeing that law is not something that only exist and can be studied, but law is created by the process of inquiry and definition.…

    In fact, a sales contract may be made in any manner sufficient to show that the parties intended to be bound, even though essential terms such as price, quantity, place and time for delivery, and terms of payment are missing. These missing terms can be added later by the parties or supplied under other provisions of the Code. To offset these relaxed rules, however, the Code does insist that the parties perform in good faith (honestly) and that the dominant party deals fairly with the other party to the sales transaction. The UCC defines a sale as a contract that transfers ownership of goods from the seller (vendor) to the buyer for a price. Under the UCC, goods are…

    Authors Cantor and Levin make an impressive case for the proposed Pennsylvania Uniform Collaborative Law Act, that would make Pennsylvania one of the few states (four, plus Washington DC), that have created a law supporting what is known as an alternative view of divorce. The norms of divorce, as is known in American culture, is always messy, divisive, and highly emotional. The proposal for “collaborative divorce” would make children, and co-parenting, a vital component of the dissolution of a marriage. In essence this law would assist not just in the dividing of property and assets but would provide for the needs of children in addition to working to preserve respect and healthy communication between the divorcing parties.…
