Implied extension of an expired contract

It has to do with the rights of parties to a contract for a specified period who continue to perform their obligations despite the fact that the contract has lapsed. In such situations, unless there is a term in the expired contract to the contrary, the law would imply that there is a new contract entered into by the parties on the same terms as the expired contract and the parties will be bound by the terms as if they had signed the new contract.
