  • Kinda confusing questions, by signatures alone what do you mean, if 2 people have signed a page with no writing on it then it aint a contract. I think you may mean there is no witness signature, therefore there is writing eg. i promise to repay a £5 loan to B, signed A, countersigned by B. This is legally binding however if the party A in the above example says that they signed it under duress, eg. gun held to their head then it is not worth the paper it is written on, thats why we need witnesses. If you can get an admittance from A that they signed the agreement of their own free will and accord in the face of the law then it would be legally binding. Hope this answer helps and i interpreted your question correctly.
  • We need more information to answer this question. Some contracts don't even need to be in writing or have a signature. On the other hand, just because someone promises to do something and signs his name attesting to that agreement does not mean there is an enforceable contract. For example, if I write on a piece of paper that I will give you $1 million dollars tomorrow, and we both sign the paper, this is not a contract. A contract requires that "consideration" be given. Thus, my written statement is nothing more than a non-binding promise to give you a gift, not a contract. Contract law has a bunch of rules and exceptions. Please give more information about the document that was signed, so that I can give a more complete answer.
