Course Description

When the requirements necessary for a valid contract are present and all the clauses in a contract are correctly stated, it is still possible for a contract not to be a contract. This course, a follow up on an earlier course, "Contract Law (Introduction)",is in 6 parts.  It discusses lucidly these circumstances, with thought provoking questions and very stimulating tests and assignments.

The knowledge gained from the course will guide anyone in any position of responsibility in taking decisions based on sound legal principles. The course is useful for students in higher institutions, professionals in any position of responsibility and anyone who desires an update or knowledge of Contract Law.  


Lawyer Francis Afolalu presents Part 3 of the contract series Contract Law 3 (When Contracts are Not Contracts). The course has 5 goals: 1.To provide students with the fundamental principles of how statements, actions and events affect the validity of contracts. 2.To guide and expose students to difficult legal terms in a simple manner so that they could understand and apply them in their everyday experiences. 3.To help students who wish to sit for law or para-legal examination to grapple with the intricacies that is often associated with this basic level of law study. 4.To serve as a guide to professionals in a position of responsibility in taking decisions that are based on sound legal principles. 5.At the end of the course, students should be able to know the meaning of what Misrepresentation, Duress, Undue Influence, Mistake and Frustration means in law. They must specifically understand how they affect the validity of contract in a general and specific sense.
This course offers 1.0 CEUs upon successful completion. You may take this online course with or without CEU documentation. An online and hard-copy Certificate of Course Completion displaying your coursework and CEUs earned is included with the CEU Option.
