Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The common law of contract is a body of law derived from judicial decisions, rather than from statutes or official codes. Therefore, there is no single authoritative document that provides a summary and presentation of it. The options provided, such as the Federal Register, Contracts Commercial Code (which seems to be a misnomer for the Uniform Commercial Code that actually governs commercial transactions in the United States), Holmes on Contracts (which could be a reference to a treatise but not an authoritative document of common law itself), and the Statute of Frauds (which is a specific statute requiring certain contracts to be in writing), do not fit the description of an authoritative document summarizing and presenting the common law of contract as a whole.
