Throughout this century, contract law has adopted the principle of freedom of contract and caveat emptor. The principle of contractual freedom that has been practiced since ancient times in the first place was to give freedom to the parties to make fair dealing in their contracts. However, several changes have occurred in which the principle of contractual freedom is no longer appropriate as there is inequality of bargaining power between the parties.
