Third party contracts act
CONTRACTS (RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES) ACT 1999 The old general rule was that only a party to a contract could enforce its terms; anyone else (a “third party”) could not. The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (“the Act”) changed this by enabling third parties, in certain cases, to enforce terms in contracts made in their favour. Under section 1 of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, provides a third party his own right if that the contract expressly allows for the third party to enforce rights (ss(1)(a)) and if the contract purports to benefit them they can also enforce the rights (ss.(1)(B).

The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (CRTPA) creates an exception which mitigates the harshness of this rule. Where a contract confers a benefit on a third party, that party may acquire the right to sue. It is important for businesses to be aware of CRTPA since it can give rise to sometimes unexpected legal risks, and can even prevent the rescission or alteration of a contract without the consent of persons who are not parties to the contract.
