The functions of contract law are:-

  • provide compensation to the claimant when a breach of contract has been committed
  • to deter someone from breaking a contract knowing that compensation will be available
  • to provide a framework in which businesses can operate
  • provide consumer protection via Sale of Goods Act 1979 and the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977
