aleatory contract Explanation: aleatory contract A contract whose value to either or both of the parties depends on chance or future events, or where the monetary values of the parties' performance are unequal. An insurance policy is an aleatory contract because the insurer's obligation to pay a loss depends on uncertain events, while the insured must pay a fixed premium during the policy period. (http://www.nils.com/rupps/aleatory-contract.htm) ALEATORY CONTRACT - A contract in which the number of dollars to be given up by each party is not equal. Insurance contracts are of this type, as the policyholder pays a premium and may collect nothing from the insurer or may collect a great deal more than the amount of the premium if a loss occurs.

aleatory contract Explanation: Termium has this French term, and the equivalent English common law term. Since this is specifically identified as being *common law*, I think you are quite safe in using it. English:Contracts (Common Law) Insurance Law aleatory contract s CORRECT And LGDT even specifies the contrat viager as an example of a contrat aléatoire, again, with the same English term: Domaine(s) droit droit civil aleatory contract (deg) An agreement the performance of which by one party depends upon the occurrence of a contingent event. (e) Note(s): An insurance contract is an aleatory contract because the insured may pay a small amount of money and recover a great deal more. (d) contrat aléatoire n m (abcfh) Variété de contrat à titre onéreux où la prestation due par l'une des parties dépend d'un événement incertain, qui rend impossible cette évaluation jusqu'à sa réalisation. (c) Note(s): ((Domaine d'emploi indiqué dans les sources citées:)) assurance vie. (ch) Ex. contrat de rente viagère. (b) [Office de la langue française, 1990] TBT17030586 OBS - A contract dealing with uncertainties, e.g., an insurance annuity contract. s Reference: http://www.termium.com Le grand dictionnaire terminologique |

aleatory contract Explanation: Yes. An aleatory contract is one in which a party's duty of performance depends upon some uncertain event : Ellesmere v Wallace [1929] 2 CH 1 (in this case it was a wagering contract, not exactly the same context). Dixit Dic of Law, Curzon 5th ed., Financial Times Publishing Sinon, un "contrat aléatoire" est "un contrat à titre onéreux dans lequel l'existence ou la valeur d'une présentation dépend d'un événement futur incertain. (Ex. contrat de rente viagère). Dixit Lexique de termes juridiques 9° ed. DALLOZ. (The bible for law students, at least first & second year here and in Aix-en-Provence). No doubt in my mind that the terms mean the same thing. Go for it! Nikki Lex. de termes juridiques, DALLOZ Dic of Law, Curzon, Financial Times Publishing |
