There are very few types of contracts in East Africa that must be in writing in order to be enforceable. This is not to say that one should not bother to reduce agreements to writing. Much of the courts' time is taken up not with the legalities of the contract before them but with the conflicting evidence. A contract reduced to writing, in clear and certain terms, would avoid misunderstandings at a later date and would provide the lawyer and the court with the evidence they require. A contract is a legally binding agreement made between two or more parties. This book is offered as an introduction to the law of contract as it applies in East Africa.
