UNPACKING THE VIRTUES OF LITIGATING CONTRACT TERMS

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates legally binding obligations. From rental agreements to employment contracts and online terms of service, these documents outline the obligations and rights of the parties involved. However, what happens when one party fails to meet their obligations? This is where the concept of "litigating virtues" refer to its clarity, precision, and enforceability of a contract.

• Intent of the Parties:

Courts look at the clear intentions of the parties, if the terms are well-written and unambiguous, the court is more likely to uphold those terms.

• Fairness and Reasonableness:

Courts aim to enforce contracts that are fair and reasonable. If a term is deemed excessively one-sided or unconscionable, a court may refuse to enforce it. This principle helps ensure that both parties are treated equal.

• Public Policy:

Courts will not enforce contract terms that violate public policy, means that any contract causing harm to the public wellbeing are unenforceable.
