Uppsatsen behandlar passivitet inom avtalsrätten och när denna kan få rättsverkan. Juridiskt innebär passivitet att man underlåter att agera, exempelvis genom att underlåta att godkänna anbud, att neka anbud eller att förtydliga på något sätt.

The main rule in contract law is that agreements become legally binding through active action from both parties and the principle that the one who does not
