The main idea here is that contract-related disputes are classified under contractual actions. When the issue is whether a contract exists or whether it is valid or void, the dispute centers on the contract itself—the formation, consent, essential elements, and the consequences if those elements aren’t met. So questions about existence or nullity are governed by contract law and its rules, focusing on rights and duties that arise from the contract. This differs from tort, which deals with civil wrongs outside of contracts; administrative actions, which challenge government decisions or actions; and non-contractual actions, which arise outside the contract relationship. Thus, the existence or nullity of a contract falls under contractual actions.
