Talking about agreements, I noticed that some cultural groups prefer very detailed contract and other ones prefer for of contracts that include only general principles. I think it is due to the culture of the groups which act, in the sense that to prefer a form or the other ones depends to the final target of them: relationship building (principles), contract signature (detailed contracts).
what do you think about my affirmation?
In your country is it generally preferred a detailed contract or a contract based on general principles? Which are the reasons that govern this preference?
many thanks for your contribution

Replying to Vincent Guerard

...

In my experience a detail contract is the most use, regardless of countries. Local laws make a big difference in the way a detail contract is structured and the wording is key. Never forgetting where the contract will be interpreted in case of misunderstanding.

A detail contract become voluminous opening the door to contradictions. Often those will need to have a technical resolution.

In addition in the construction industry I've seem reference to norms that are contradictory.

A detail Contrat often become too complex, and contradictions become clear just at the execution phase.

sorry Vincent,
previous comment was sent by myself but I don't know why in anonymously form
