I basically agree but as a civil instrument, a contract is not a law. The only consequence of violating a contract should be having to pay back whatever damages were caused. Not prohibitions on behavior or other freedoms. Enforced by whom?
Corporations will violate contracts all the time as a cost of business if the cost of the violation is less than the benefit gained.
- prepend 7mo agoIn the US, a contract is considered law. It’s just only between the parties.
- Supermancho 7mo agoTort law and criminal law are two of the many subtypes.
- SoftTalker 7mo agoYou will not go to jail for breaking a contract. The only remedies are civil.
- prepend 7mo agoRight. But it’s still law. Civil law.
