3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
AGREEMENT, contract. The consent of two or more persons concurring,
respecting the transmission of some property, right or benefit, with a view
of contracting an obligation. Bac. Ab. h.t.; Com. Dig. h.t.; Vin. Ab. h.t.;
Plowd. 17; 1 Com. Contr. 2; 5 East's R. 16. It will be proper to consider,
1, the requisites of an agreement; 2, the kinds of agreements; 3, how they
are annulled.
2.-1. To render an agreement complete six things must concur; there
must be, 1, a person able to contract; 2, a person able to be contracted
with; 3, a thing to be contracted for; 4, a lawful consideration, or quid
pro quo; 5, words to express the agreement; 6, the assent of the contracting
parties. Plowd. 161; Co. Litt. 35, b.
3.-2. As to their form, agreements are of two kinds; 1, by parol, or,
in writing, as contradistinguished from specialties; 2, by specialty, or
under seal. In relation to their performance, agreements are executed or
executory. An agreement is said to be executed when two or more persons make
over their respective rights in a thing to one another, and thereby change
the property therein, either presently and at once, or at a future time,
upon some event that shall give it full effect, without either party
trusting to the other; as where things are bought, paid for and delivered.
Executory agreements, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, are such
contracts as rest on articles, memorandums, parol promises, or undertakings,
and the like, to be performed in future, or which are entered into
preparatory to more solemn and formal alienations of property. Powell on
Cont. Agreements are also conditional and unconditional. They are
conditional when some condition must be fulfilled before they can have full
effect; they are unconditional when there is no condition attached;
4.-3. Agreements are annulled or rendered of no effect, first, by the
acts of the parties, as, by payment; release - accord and satisfaction;
rescission, which is express or implied; 1 Watts & Serg. 442; defeasance; by
novation: secondly, by the acts of the law, as, confusion; merger; lapse of
time; death, as when a man who has bound himself to teach an apprentice,
dies; extinction of the thing which is the subject of the contract, as, when
the agreement is to deliver a certain horse and before the time of delivery
he dies. See Discharge of a Contract.
5. The writing or instrument containing an agreement is also called an
agreement, and sometimes articles of agreement.(q.v.)
6. It is proper, to remark that there is much difference between an
agreement and articles of agreement which are only evidence of it. From the
moment that the parties have given their consent, the agreement or contract
is formed, and, whether it can be proved or not, it has not less the quality
to bind both contracting parties. A want of proof does not make it null,
because that proof may be supplied aliunde, and the moment it is obtained,
the contract may be enforced.
7. Again, the agreement may be mull, as when it was obtained by fraud,
duress, and the like; and the articles of agreement may be good, as far as
the form is concerned. Vide Contract. Deed; Guaranty; Parties to Contracts.
