- eru 2y agoWell, a contract it something you draft up in good times, when you understand each other, to provide an enforcement mechanism in bad times (if/when you have disagreements). The ideal contract has enforcement mechanisms that are really easy to predict, so that both parties can just settle around that predicted outcome, instead of actually having to go to court. The actual mechanisms aren't that important, as long as they are predictable. If eg bankruptcy law in your jurisdiction predictably benefits creditor (or debtor) more, then the original agreement (when people still agree with each other) can adjust for that.
