to connect relational contract theory to specific legal forms, except from the non-relational perspectives noted above5. An exception to this is some of the work of critical legal scholars (although limited by absence of any affirma-tive overall relational theory), a recent example being Dalton [1985]. For instance, relational contract theory implies that managers can positively affect program performance by managing relationships effectively—by way of sound integration decisions and incentive design. Do misaligned relationships and poorly designed incentives—given the theory outlined above—result in poor performance? Relational Contracting – Creating Value Beyond the Project. Barbara Colledge. 1. Abstract Relational Contracting is a transaction or contracting mechanism that seeks to give explicit recognition to the commercial “relationship” between the parties to the contract. Macneil (1978) has used the term 'relational contract' to describe this situation, in which the real focus is less on legalities and more on reaching mutual understanding about the true meaning of

A relational contract is a contract whose effect is based upon a relationship of trust between the parties to which it pertains. The explicit terms of the contract are just an outline as there are implicit terms and understandings which determine the behaviour of the parties. Relational Contract Theory: Confirmations and Contradictions. Stefanos Mouzas and Keith Blois University of Lancaster * ABSTRACT. Scholarly work on contracts offers a valuable lens through which exchange relationships among companies or individuals can be studied. Relational contract is defined as “Contracts in which what is expected by both sides is not written out in detail but develops as an ongoing relationship.” (Chrystal: 1997 p.702) whereas referring to CRC CI (2002), it deals with identifying and endeavouring an approach of mutual benefits through developing cooperative relationships and establishing a mechanism of risk-sharing. ESSAY 3 - Relational contract theory 'It is no longer right to equate a contract of employment with commercial contracts. One possible way of describing a contract of employment in modern terms is as a relational contract" (LORD STEYN) (2003). This statement from Lord Steyn (dissenting) in Johnson has considerable weight. A relational contract is a contract whose effect is based upon a relationship of trust between the parties. Relational Contract Theory: Challenges and Queries. HeinOnline is a subscription-based resource containing nearly 2,700 academic and legal journals from inception; complete coverage of government documents such as U.S. Statutes at Large, U.S. Code, Federal Register, Code of Federal Regulations, U.S. Reports, and much more. Relational contracts theory, according to the literature, can constitute –among its other scopes- a valuable tool, in order to describe and explain the operation and the content especially of the contracts, which could be defined as highly relational.

A relational contract is a contract whose effect is based upon a relationship of trust between the parties.

The chapter aims to provide an indication of the changes to common-law doctrine that might come about given the categorization of the employment contract as relational. The chapter suggests what a judicial construction of a relational contract would look like. This includes the concept of fair dealing and reciprocity and self-help remedies.
