British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Select Drywall et al v. Sandhu et al., 2012 BCPC 320 (CanLII):
Before a contract can be enforced, the identity of the contracting parties must be determined. To acquire rights and be subject to liabilities under a contract, one must be a party to it. (See, for example, paragraphs 31 and 32 of the case of Dulay v. Gill (2011) BCJ 1245).
