​KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Jus Quaesitum Tertio


Jus quaesitum tertio refers to the principle that contracts generally do not create rights for third parties. Only those who are parties to a contract can enforce it.


However, this rule has been modified by legislation such as the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, which allows third parties to enforce certain contractual terms. Additionally, trusts can also be used to confer rights on third parties.
