An enforceable contract is a written or oral agreement that can be imposed in a court of law. If the law permits enforcement of a contract, execution of an agreement is the obligation of the assenting parties. To enforce means mandatory compliance with a contract. Contract law provides that contracting parties have a right to commitment and enforceability. Parties’ mutually assenting agreement and signatory of a contract are obliged to adhere to the rules of contract law, by performing as promised.
