Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Privity of contract refers to the direct relationship between parties who have entered into a contract. If Kevin did not purchase the bottle of pop himself, he does not have a direct contractual relationship with the manufacturer. Therefore, he cannot sue them in contract. However, he may still be able to sue for negligence or another tort.
