Abstract
Not all contract terms are of equal significance; some are more important than others. For example, if I were to enter into a contract to buy a new car, the make of the car, its roadworthiness and the price would be much more important to me than its colour. This fact has long been reflected in contract law in the distinction which has traditionally been drawn between a condition and a warranty.
