The intention to create legal relations is a fundamental principle in contract law that determines whether an agreement between parties is legally enforceable. For a contract to be valid, there must be an agreement that both parties intend to be bound by, meaning they understand the terms will have legal consequences.
In contract law, not all agreements are treated equally. Generally, agreements made in social or domestic contexts (e.g., family arrangements) are presumed not to create legal relations, as the parties typically do not intend to be legally bound. On the other hand, agreements made in business or commercial contexts are usually presumed to have the intention to create legal relations, as they involve parties seeking to establish binding commitments.
For example, a promise between family members to attend a birthday party would likely not be legally enforceable, while a contract between two businesses to supply goods would almost certainly be considered legally binding.
This distinction helps courts determine whether the agreement is simply a moral obligation or if it carries the weight of legal enforceability. It is a key factor in determining whether or not a breach of contract has occurred and whether legal remedies, such as damages, can be pursued.
