In Canadian contract law , Contract A is a concept that has recently been applied by courts regarding the fair and equal treatment of bidders in a contract tendering process. Essentially this concept formalizes previously applied precedents and strengthens the protection afforded to those who submit bids in the tendering process. The concept was introduced in 1981 by the Supreme Court of Canada , in R. v. Ron Engineering and Construction Eastern Ltd . The court found that a duty of fairness was owed to all bidders by an owner in a tendering process. The Contract A is formed when a request for proposal is responded to in the form of a valid bid, sometimes also known as submission of price. As many Contracts A are formed between the owner person, company or organization tendering the project and the bidders as there are bids received. The owner must now deal fairly and equally with all bidders, and must not show any favoritism or prejudice towards any bidder s . In essence, this concept boils down to the right of an individual to have equal opportunity to be successful with their bid for work. A breach of Contract A may occur if the owner or an owner s officer or representative, see vicarious liability , provides information, changes specification during the tendering process to unfairly benefit a particular bidder, enters into closed negotiations with an individual bidder in an effort to obtain more desirable contract conditions, etc. The most common situation in which an owner is accused of having breached Contract A occurs when a bidder is selected who is not the lowest bidder. This contravenes established custom and practice, which would normally dictate that the lowest bid be awarded the contract, but is not normally a source of a breach if handled properly. The successful suits for breach typically occur if the lowest bidder has been excluded based on a stipulation ... to be too broadly worded to have any meaning.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Wills, trusts, estates A will contract is a term used in the law of will law wills describing a contract to exchange a current performance for a future bequest. In such an agreement, one party the promisee will provide some performance in exchange for a promise by the other party the testator , because they must draft a will to make a specific bequest to the promisee party in the testator s will. Most jurisdictions recognize such contracts as valid, although a few hold them as void against public policy . Some jurisdictions will not recognize an oral contract for such a purpose, requiring instead that the contract be executed in writing and signed by both parties. The general rule, where such contracts are recognized, is that the promisee can not specific performance specifically enforce the contract if the testator later revokes or supersedes the will making the promised bequest, but can only sue the testator s estate for breach of contract. This protects the testator s very strong freedom to dispose of his property however he sees fit. For example, suppose Joey agrees to execute a will bequeathing his house to Rachel in exchange for services provided by Rachel. If Joey later revokes that will, Rachel can not force Joey s estate to convey the house to her, but can only sue for the value of the house. Typically, will contracts are made between people who have different heirs to whom they wish to leave their property at death, but they may wish for the other person to have the use of until all of their combined assets until the death of the second to die.

Unreferenced date September 2008 In finance , a spot contract , spot transaction , or simply spot , is a contract of buying or selling a commodity , security finance security or currency for Settlement finance settlement payment and delivery on the spot date , which is normally two business days after the trade date . The settlement price or rate is called spot price or spot rate . A spot contract is in contrast with a forward contract or futures contract where contract terms are agreed now but delivery and payment will occur at a future date. Spot prices and future price expectations Depending on the item being traded, spot prices can indicate market expectations of future price movements in different ways. For a security or non perishable commodity e.g. silver , the spot price reflects market expectations of future price movements. In theory, the difference in spot and forward prices should be equal to the finance charges, plus any earnings due to the holder of the security, according to the cost of carry model. For example, on a share finance share the difference in price between the spot and forward is usually accounted for almost entirely by any dividend s payable in the period minus the interest payable on the purchase price. Any other cost price would yield an arbitrage opportunity and riskless profit see rational pricing for the arbitrage mechanics . In contrast, a perishable or soft commodity does not allow this arbitrage the cost of storage is effectively higher than the expected future price of the commodity. As a result, spot prices will reflect current supply and demand, not future price movements. Spot prices can therefore be quite volatile and move independently from forward prices. According to the unbiased forward hypothesis, the difference between these prices ... curve.

A Moore curve after E. H. Moore is a Geometric continuity continuous fractal space filling curve space filling curve which is a variant of the Hilbert curve . Precisely, it is the curve definitions loop version of the Hilbert curve, and it may be thought as the union of four copies of the Hilbert curves combined in such a way to make the endpoints coincide. Because the Moore curve is plane filling, its Hausdorff dimension is 2. The following figure shows the initial stages of the Moore curve.
