meeting of the minds

meeting of the minds. Contracts. Actual assent by both parties to the formation of a contract, meaning that they agree on the same terms, conditions, and subject matter. • This was required under the traditional subjective theory of assent, but modern contract doctrine requires only objective manifestations of assent. — Also termed mutuality of assent; aggregatio mentium; assensio mentium. See mutual assent under ASSENT. [Cases: Contracts 15. C.J.S. Contracts §§ 35–36, 38.]
