Talk:Contract

message: A contract which is implied in law is also called a quasi-contract, because it is not in fact a contract
This seems wrong to me: if there is no contract, there is no remedy. But there is a contract here because there is offer ("come and treat me, and everyone knows a doctor needs to be paid") and acceptance ("Good evening Mr Smith, what seems to be the trouble?"). The price is not of the essence, but will be determined by what the reasonable person would have expected. The fact that the contract is implied by conduct doesn't mean it's not a contract. (It may make it harder to enforce, but that's a different matter.) Eteb3 (talk) 18:10, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Implied contracts are contracts 

message: seems to believe that he (I think we may safely assume it is "he") WP:OWNS this article, persisting in making pedantic wp:righting great wrongs edits to assert his strange view of English grammar. Perhaps WP:ENVAR explains it, but I doubt it. The latest case is his change of "agreement between parties" to "agreement by parties". The number of instances found by Google for  is nearly eight times the number found for   (and most cases of the latter involve an agreement by the parties to a consensus). I reverted his edit whereupon he immediately counter-reverted with some block capitals rant. I invite him to read WP:bold, revert, discuss and wp:edit warring. Self-revert would be wise. I don't intend to pursue this nonsense further, I'd rather not enter the WP:Lamest edit wars hall of infamy. But, KD, if you continue in this vein, it is only a matter of time before you end up with a WP:ANI referral. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:56, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It's beneath me to reply further than to say this talk page thread is aptly titled and indeed makes assumptions, includes a fair amount of nonsense, casts nonrelevant personal aspersions tantamount to incivility against a certain editor (including the temerity to address the editor by unfamiliar yet disapproved initials), and smacks of an unawareness that WP:ANI is there "for discussion of urgent incidents and chronic, intractable behavioral problems" rather than to pursue an editing dispute about phraesology, semantics, grammar, usage, etc. I'm nonethless thankful this thread expresses an interest in not preciptating a pretty lame edit war.

text: I would have to agree with your comment to a certain extent as I feel that many of the edits made have been either idiosyncratic in its syntactical reasoning or confusing as a whole. I don't really understand the kinds of explanations that are given for some of the edits, and I think that if the grammar changes can't be explained without reference to some arcane terminology that they should be assumed to be plainly false unless some real explanation can be made with regard to basic principles of language. At the same time, I think the edits have largely been at the expense of clarity in favour of more verbose language that I don't believe to be particularly more accurate in either substance or form.

replies: text: For example, an edit was made with regard to changing 'mixed-law' (as in, jurisdiction) to 'plenary'. This edit seemed to have had been justified on plainly a matter of opinion as to what the 'right' terminology is, when in actuality 'mixed-law' as a description of systems that combine both civil and common law traditions is a perfectly valid label. Googling 'mixed-law' yields results pertaining to those systems; googling 'plenary legal system' does not yield any valid results. As a matter of using the more common and understandable terminology, I have reverted the edits accordingly. Dawkin Verbier (talk) 12:57, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

message: Came to find out what a "Kill Fee" is, as it redirects here, but the term isn't mentioned in the article. Not very helpful. The information either needs to be added to the article or the redirect should be removed.81.140.176.205 (talk) 12:26, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
