Title 13. CONTRACTS · Chapter 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

13-1-7. Contract defined — Absolute and conditional contracts.

Active

Current through: Including Acts of the 2025 Regular Session of the General Assembly.

  1. (a)

    A contract may be absolute or conditional. In an absolute contract, every covenant is independent and the breach of one does not relieve the obligation of another. In a conditional contract, the covenants are dependent upon each other and the breach of one is a release of the binding force of all dependent covenants.#

  2. (b)

    The classification of every contract must depend upon a rational interpretation of the intention of the parties.#
