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.
