What authority does the court have in determining whether an agreement is valid and binding?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Angell v. Rowlands, 149 Cal.Rptr. 574, 85 Cal.App.3d 536 (Cal. App. 1978):

The other line of case authority is based on Cavanaugh v. Casselman (1891) 88 Cal. 543, 26 P. 515, which holds that an agreement is valid without the signature of all the parties purportedly bound by the agreement Unless there is an express intention indicated that there will be no binding contract if all parties do not sign.
