Q1: Scots Law historically, and indeed more recently, has recognised that people generally have the freedom to enter into contracts. However there are some groups who for their own protection and to prevent them from being exploited have some restrictions placed on their capacity to enter into contracts. With reference to both Statute and Common Law discuss who might fall into these groups and the restrictions and legal provisions that apply to them.
