Agreement

A common intention must exist between the parties and an intention to enter legal relations, and this the essence of the agreement reached to enter into a legally binding relationship.

An intention to enter legal relations is presumed in commercial transactions, but not in social or family dealings and relations. The parties must have legal capacity to enter into the agreement.
