1991 Brazilian census reported only a 1 percent to 2 percent disability rate, but the 2001 census recorded a 14.5 percent disability rate. Similar jumps in the measured rate of disability have occurred in Turkey (12.3 percent) and Nicaragua (10.1 percent).
unenforceable contract. Definition. A contract that has all the elements of a valid contract, yet neither party can sue the other to force performance of it. For example, an unsigned contract is generally unenforceable. Use this term in a sentence.
o Avoidable: A contract is avoidable if one of the parties has the option to terminate the contract. Contracts with minors are examples of avoidable contracts. o Unenforceable: If a contract is unenforceable, neither party may enforce the other's obligations. For example, in the United States, a contract is unenforceable if it violates the Statute of frauds . An example of the above is an oral contract for the sale of a motorcycle for US$ 5,000 (because in the USA any contract for the sale of goods over US$500 must be in writing to be enforceable).
