From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sprat v Agar is an early and landmark precedent and decision in third-party contract law, that is defeating privity of contract.[1] It was one of a number of early cases in the development of how the writ of assumpsit came to allow third parties with no direct involvement to a contract could achieve standing to enforce benefits from a contract.
