Quick Look Into Formal Contract

Formal Contract

A formal contract is a highly specialized type of legal contract. Historically, a sealed formal contract was handled differently than a legal contract to which the parties had not affixed a seal. A formal contract with a seal was found to have a longer statute of limitations than a legal contract that did not have a seal. In modern contract law, however, no distinction is made between a formal contract and an informal contract.
