These agreements or obligations are fulfilled by a contract. Contracts allow people to conduct business confidently and smoothly, avoiding misunderstandings and negligence.

The law also sets out the elements that limit the manner in which a contract can be concluded and performed. If such contract is breached, this law determines how such contact may be enforced in court and what remedies are available to the injured party. According to the Contracts Act, the following words and expressions are used in the following senses, unless the context indicates a contrary intent: (a) B, in Kelang, at the direction of A, of Taiping, enters into contracts with C for the supply of certain goods to him.

A is liable B for such damages, costs and expenses. (b) B, a broker in Taiping, enters into a contract with C for the purchase of 10 barrels of oil for A on the orders of A, a trader in that country.

Although the third person may have known of its existence.
