Contract law aims to provide an effective legal framework for contract parties to resolve their disputes and regulate their contractual obligations. Contract law is mostly self-regulating and the majority of contracts do not require intervention. Courts do not consider whether the contract is fair; If it is agreed upon, it must be implemented. However, in some cases courts may be willing to depart from the principle of freedom of contract. These are often cases where a contracting party's bargaining power is abused.
