ABSTRACT
Contracts and projects deal with getting something done. They also involve relationships. Every organisation wants to have contracts to sell its products to others and contracts to buy things from others. Every country has to have law and that law must actually work. If the law did not work then everything would have to stop until the law was put right. Therefore, however odd the law in another country may look to the outsider, the insider knows that the law will work, and knows how to make it work. Common law and civil law often have different theory but usually produce very similar results in commercial areas. The theory that underlies the common law contract is that of the bargain, so that the contract creates liability because the parties have made a bargain, and the bargain should be respected. The law looks at the world in a very simplistic way.
