Full Definition of Simple Contract

A simple contract is any contract (see: contract) other than a Contract of Record (see: contract of record) or a contract by deed (see: contract by deed). A simple contract that is written and validated by signature is sometimes called a ‘contract under hand’. However, many contracts are formed without such signature, by established practise. For example, a contract is formed when a purchase is made from a shop, or a railway ticket purchased.
