You might wish to post your query again in our Legal English area of the Forum. 1.On the day of September 15, 2007 in *** the Sales Agreement has been concluded between:..     IS IT OK TO WRITE "HAS BEEN"? No. On September 15, 2007, in *** , the Sales Agreement was concluded between:..     2. The subject of the Agreement shall be issued to the Buyer in the original producer’s packaging. Seems OK 3. The payment day shall be the day of debiting the Buyer’s account. Seems OK In everyday, non legal-style English, don't use all these capitals.

Seems OK ”   I know that the word "subject" in this sentence refers to the goods to be delivered, but I think that from a legal point of view "subject of the contract" refers to contractual parties-persons who concluded the contract. When referring to the goods to be delivered (in case of Contract of sale), i would use "object of the contract". It is derived from the Latin terminology.  Am I right?  Lawyee Joined on Wed, Oct 3 2007 Full Member 211 Let justice be done though heavens may fall

	Lawyee  +  482739 Thu, 28 Feb 08 09:39 AM  I just say that from a legal point of view (not taking into account the linguistic one) it may be confusing to use "subject" when referring to "object"-you may be obliged to deliver yourself packed in a box to the Buyer Lawyee
