Example Summary of Contract Law Chapter 5

Contracts govern almost everything we do in modern life and in the workplace. This chapter explains that a contract is a voluntary agreement between two or more parties that creates, modifies, or destroys a legal relationship.The chapter also discusses that employees are the agents of their employers and, under the law of agency, are able to contract for the principal; contracts made by an authorized agent are valid and enforceable; and, the principal is usually held responsible for any damages.In the contract between physician and patient, the patient may desire to change physicians before treatment has been completed or the physician may desire to refuse further treatment. This chapter explains how the discharged physician should memorialize the circumstances and conditions of the discharge in a certified letter sent to the patient. If a physician terminates the relationship, further provisions must be made for the care of the patient or the physician can be found to have abandoned the patient.And, finally, another type of contract discussed in this chapter is the comprehensive health care advance directive, including the provisions of a living will and a health care power of attorney, among others.
