FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

Why is it important to have a written contract?

A written contract clearly outlines the terms and conditions agreed upon by all parties, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes. It also provides legal recourse in the event of a breach.

Can I use a template contract I found online?

Templates can be useful for basic reference, but they often fail to account for Jamaican laws or your specific situation. Relying solely on a template can expose you to legal risks. We always recommend professional review and customization.

What makes a contract legally binding in Jamaica?

A legally binding contract in Jamaica must include an offer, acceptance, consideration (something of value exchanged), mutual intent to enter into a legal agreement, and capacity of the parties involved. It must also have a lawful purpose.

How can I ensure that a contract is enforceable?

Ensure the contract is properly signed, dated, and that all essential terms are clearly stated. Avoid vague or ambiguous language. Having a lawyer draft or review the contract increases enforceability.

What happens if a contract is breached?

If a party fails to uphold their contractual obligations, the other party may seek remedies such as damages, specific performance, or cancellation. We assist clients with both enforcement and dispute resolution.
