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.
When you enter into a contract you are legally obligated to perform your contractual dutiesâthat is, do what you promised to do in the contract. Nonperformance is the failure to fulfill your obligations under a contract. However, you do not have to perform your promises under a contract until performance is due. For example, if you agree to pay the seller of equipment on delivery of the equipment, you do not have to pay the seller until the equipment is delivered.
