mutual assent

Agreement by both parties to a contract, usu. in the form of offer and acceptance.

• In modern contract law, mutual assent is determined by an objective standard — that is, by the apparent intention of the parties as manifested by their actions. Cf. MEETING OF THE MINDS. [Cases: Contracts 15. C.J.S. Con-tracts §§ 35–36, 38.]
