Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 4.1-1
Elements of an Express Contract
The plaintiff claims that (he/she/it) entered into a contract with the defendant. A contract is an
agreement enforceable at law. Contracts may be express or implied. If the agreement is shown
by the direct words of the parties, spoken or written, the contract is an express one. If such
agreement can only be shown by the acts and conduct of the parties, interpreted in the light of the
subject matter and of the surrounding circumstances, then the contract is an implied one.
