The rule of law (see the Rule of Law Pyramid on the resource) is vital for contract law as it provides stability and predictability in the legal system. For contracts to be binding and enforceable a society needs a stable civil law system.
Equality before the law under the rule of law allows for legal mechanisms to ensure parties to a contract are treated equally before the law and vulnerable members of the community are protected when entering into contracts.
