There is no statutory or judicial rule in Ghana prescribing a compulsory structure for commercial contracts. Under the Contracts Act, 1960 (Act 25), as well as common law principles applied by Ghanaian courts, a contract is binding once the essential elements of formation exist. Courts routinely enforce informal documents, handwritten agreements, emails, and poorly structured contracts if the intention to create legal relations is established.
