The news reports that a person "contracted over the telephone" to kill another person. Under contract law is that a correct statement?
1. Yes, the contract agreement can be verbal or written.
2. No, contracts must fulfill a lawful purpose.
3. Only if something of value, like money, is offered as compensation
4. If both parties understand the terms and meaning of the contract
2
Rationale: Contracts must fulfill a lawful purpose and murder is not a lawful purpose. There can be no enforceable contract for illegal acts or fraud. This is true despite whether the contract is written or oral, whether money is offered as compensation, or if both parties understand the contract.
