Contracts are at the heart of our economic system. They are also dear to the hearts of many lawyers, who see contract law as embodying the idea that individuals should voluntarily bind themselves in a free society when they think it is in their interests to do so.

In this episode we look at how contracts are formed and when a party might be excused from their obligations.

We also ask whether the theory works in practice. How much choice do people really have, when for example they click that they agree to some Terms and Conditions?

And if a contract is broken, inequality in access to justice means in practice that a powerful party has the advantage over a weaker party.
