Answer:
For a contract to be valid it must contain essential features. The feature that describes an expression of interest of one party to another and a subsequent act of indication to accept the terms outlines is:
Agreement or mutual consent.
Explanation:
Mutual consent or agreement is given expression by a valid offer by one party and acceptance by the other party. Â These are then backed by adequate consideration, proof of the capacity of the contracting parties, and the legality of the subject of the contract. Â Without the agreement or mutual consent between the contracting parties, the contract is not enforceable, ab initio. Â It is this essential element of a contract that shows that the parties are interested in entering into some binding relationships for their mutual benefits.
