"it's just not an "original"."
So how does that work. If we sign a contract and I lose mine, it doesn't cease to be binding, but good luck trying to convince a court of it's contents.
Is it the same here? Could someone turn up with the 'true' Magna Carta and rewrite the law? Or does it exist as a kind of fossil in other laws?
- pjc50 7y agoObjects with text on them aren't magic; we have no shortage of records of what it says. It's very rare that contract disputes involve a serious disagreement over what the contents of a written contract were. Litigants submit their version under penalty of perjury. Mostly questions involve either verbal contracts or questions of whether additional material (specs, advertising copy) is part of the contract.
