Communication

Communication

In the Past

Information; consultation; conference.

Developments

In order to make a contract (see more about this popular legal topic in the U.S. encyclopedia), it is essential there should be an agreement; a bare communication or conference will not, therefore, amount to a contract; nor can evidence of such communication be received in order to take from, contradict or alter a written agreement. 1 Dall. 426; 4 Dall. 340; 3 Sergeant & Rawle's Pennsylvania Reports (Reports of Cases adjudged in the Supreme Court (see decisions, judges, etc) of Pennsylvania, by Thomas Sergeant and William Rawle), 609. Vide Pour-parler; Wbarton's Dig. Evid. R. [1]
