Re: Contract Law
You cannot change the terms of a signed, written agreement without the consent of all parties to the contract unless the contract somehow reserves that right. Such reservation could be contingency, or as to a minor point only. The theory is that the written agreement makes the obligations of all parties clear to the others.
