Joint contract
|
|
Joint contractOne in which the contractors are jointly bound to perform the promise or obligation therein contained, or entitled to receive the benefit of such promise or obligation. It is a general rule that a joint contract survives, whatever may be the beneficial interests of the parties under it; where a partner, covenantor, or other person entitled, having a joint interest in a contract not running with the land, dies, the right to sue survives in the other partner.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Promise
Contracts. An engagement by which the promisor contracts towards another to perform or do something to the advantage of the latter.

Receive
To receive. Voluntarily to take from another what is offered.
Benefit
This word is used in the same sense as gain and profits.
General

Rule
This is a metaphorical expression borrowed from mechanics. The rule, in its proper and natural sense, is an instrument by means of which may be drawn from one point to another, the shortest possible line, which is called a straight line.

Contract
A negotiated oral or written agreement setting forth the terms for an exchange of value between parties (which may be individuals or companies) and under which each party promises to perform an obligation. Certain terms, such as the obligations to be performed and the terms for setting price or compensation must be mutually understood, known in legal lingo as a "meeting of the minds," and promised to by the parties to form a legal contract.
Beneficial
Of advantage, profit or interest; as the wife has a beneficial interest in property held by a trustee for her.
Parties
Contracts. Those persons who engage themselves to do, or not to do the matters and things contained in an agreement.

Person
This word is applied to men, women and children, who are called natural persons.
Interest
1) Estates. The right which a man has in a chattel real, and more particularly in a future term. It is a word of less efficacy and extent than estates, though, in legal understanding, an interest extends to estates, rights and titles which a man has in or out of lands, so that by a grant of his whole interest in land, a reversion as well as the fee simple shall pass. 2) Contracts. The right of property which a man has in a thing, commonly called insurable interest. 3) Evidence. The benefit which a person has in the matter about to be decided and which is in issue between the parties.
Dies
A day. There are four sorts of days: 1) A natural day; as, the morning and the evening made the first day. 2) An artificial day; that is, from day-break until twilight in the evening. 3) An astrological day, dies astrologicus, from sun to sun. 4) A legal day, which is dies juridicus, and dies non juridicus.
Right
1) Sometimes it signifies a law, as when we say that natural right requires us to keep our promises, or that it commands restitution, or that it forbids murder. In our language it is seldom used in this sense. 2) It sometimes means that quality in our actions by which they are denominated just ones. This is usually denominated rectitude. 3) It is that quality in a person by which he can do certain actions, or possess certain things which belong to him by virtue of some title. In this sense, we use it when we say that a man has a right to his estate or a right to defend himself.
