People often look at attorney-client privilege in the criminal arena and presume that, because it could allow a guilty criminal to go free, then it doesn't make any sense. Honestly, however, that's a very small percentage of situations wherein the privilege is ever even used. First, over 90% of criminal matters are settled with a plea bargain -- so there's only 10% of any criminal matter in which the privilege could even affect the outcome. Of that 10%, most attorneys who defend criminals don't want to know whether their client is guilty or innocent, they just want the defendant to tell them their story as they see it happened. On the very rare occurrence when an admission happens, the lawyers hands become tied in several important ways -- not the least of which (at least in WA state) is that they cannot suborn perjury and if they know their client has lied on the stand, they must request that the court relieve them of continuing to represent the client.

Answer:
False.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, contract of sale, etc.
In South Africa, a contract of sale refers to an area of the legal which explicitly defines and establishes the rules that are applicable to the buying and selling of goods.
Basically, a contract of sale is considered to be valid if it is concluded by a simple agreement, a price is involved, and the thing to be sold is available and known to both the buyer and seller.
As a general rule, a seller doesn't have to be the owner of a thing or property being sold before the contract of sale is considered to be valid. Thus, a seller might be playing a fiduciary role on behalf of his or her principal who is the owner of a thing to be sold to a potential buyer.
