Capacity To Contract

Capacity to Contract is a foundational legal principle in contract law that denotes the legal ability of a natural or juridical person to independently enter into a binding agreement, distinguished from related doctrines by its focus on the individual’s cognitive, volitional, and legal fitness to understand and assume contractual rights and obligations.
