  • 2. 

    The term 'free consent' is defined in 

    • Section 12

    • Section 13

    • Section 14

    • Section 15

    Correct Answer
    A. Section 14
    Explanation
    Section 14 of the Indian Contract Act defines 'free consent'. This section states that consent is said to be free when it is not caused by coercion, undue influence, fraud, misrepresentation, or mistake. In other words, for a contract to be valid, the consent of the parties involved must be given freely and voluntarily, without any external pressure or manipulation. This section ensures that individuals enter into contracts willingly and without any unfair advantage being taken of them.

  • 3. 

    Two or more persons are said to consent when they agree upon the

    • Same thing in the same sense

    • Same thing in the different sense

    • Different thing in the different sense

    • Different thing in the same sense

    Correct Answer
    A. Same thing in the same sense
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Same thing in the same sense". This means that when two or more persons consent, they are agreeing upon the same thing in the same understanding or interpretation. This ensures that there is a mutual understanding and agreement between the parties involved.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The ' consent' means that the parties should have identity of mind i.e., they should agree on the same thing in the same sense, under English Law it is called

    • Error in consensus

    • Error in causa

    • Consensus ad idem

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Consensus ad idem
    Explanation
    Consensus ad idem is a Latin term that means "agreement to the same thing." In the context of the given question, it refers to the requirement that parties involved in a contract must have a mutual understanding and agreement on the same terms and conditions. In other words, they must have a meeting of the minds and be in complete consensus regarding the terms of the contract. This principle ensures that there is a clear understanding between the parties and helps to avoid misunderstandings or disputes in the future.

    Rate this question:

  • 5.

    • Consensus ad idem

    • Error in consensus

    • Error in causa

    • Both (a) and (b)

    Correct Answer
    A. Both (a) and (b)
    Explanation
    Both (a) and (b) are correct answers for this question. The concept of consensus ad idem refers to the mutual agreement or meeting of minds between the parties involved in a contract. In this case, there is no consensus ad idem as A and B had different understandings of the offer. Error in consensus refers to a mistake or misunderstanding that affects the agreement between the parties. In this case, there is an error in consensus as B accepted the offer believing it to be for the white scooter instead of the green one. Therefore, both (a) and (b) are valid explanations for the lack of a contract between A and B.

    The cases of 'no consent i.e., when there is no consent at all, are described by Salmond as

    • Error in causa

    • Error in consensus

    • Consensus ad idem

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Error in consensus
    Explanation
    Salmond describes the cases of 'no consent' as "error in consensus". This means that there is a mistake or error in the agreement or understanding between the parties involved. It implies that there is a lack of mutual understanding or agreement, leading to the absence of consent.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Error in consensus is the complete absence of consent and prevents the existence of following essential element of a contract

    • Competence of parties

    • Consideration

    • Consensus ad Idem

    • Offer and p[; V-Oacceptance

    Correct Answer
    A. Consensus ad Idem
    Explanation
    Consensus ad Idem refers to a meeting of minds or mutual agreement between the parties involved in a contract. It means that both parties have a clear understanding and agreement on the terms and conditions of the contract. If there is an error in consensus, it means that there is a lack of agreement or understanding between the parties, which prevents the contract from being valid. Therefore, the absence of consensus ad Idem hinders the existence of an essential element of a contract.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    In case there is error in consensus , the agreement is 

    • Void

    • Valid

    • Voidable

    • Unlawful

    Correct Answer
    A. Void
    Explanation
    If there is an error in consensus, it means that there is a mistake or misunderstanding in the agreement between the parties involved. In this case, the agreement becomes void, meaning it is legally invalid and has no legal effect. This means that the agreement is considered as if it never existed in the first place.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The cases of "no free consent' i.e., when tne consent is there, there, but the same is not free, are described by salmond as

    • Error in causa

    • Error in consensus

    • Consensus ad idem

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Error in causa
    Explanation
    Salmond describes cases of "no free consent" as "Error in causa." This refers to situations where there is a mistake or error in the cause or reason for giving consent. In other words, the consent is given based on a false or mistaken belief about the underlying cause or reason. This can invalidate the consent because it was not freely given with full knowledge and understanding.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

     In cases there iserror in causa,i.e., when the consent is there, but the contract is

    • Void

    • Valid

    • Voidable

    • Unlawful

    Correct Answer
    A. Voidable
    Explanation
    The given answer is "voidable". This means that in cases where there is an error in causa, the contract is valid but can be voided by one or both parties involved. This error in causa refers to a situation where there is consent to the contract, but there is some mistake or misrepresentation that affects the validity of the contract. Therefore, the contract is initially valid, but it can be voided if the party affected by the error chooses to do so.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The consent of a party is not free when it is caused by

    • Coercion

    • Undue influence

    • Misrepresentation

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. All of these
    Explanation
    The consent of a party is not free when it is caused by coercion, undue influence, or misrepresentation. Coercion refers to the use of force or threats to make someone do something against their will. Undue influence occurs when someone uses their power or authority to manipulate another person's decision-making. Misrepresentation involves providing false information or withholding important information to deceive someone. In all of these situations, the party's consent is not freely given because it is influenced or manipulated by external factors.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The consent of a party is not free when it is caused by 

    • Fraud

    • Mistake

    • Both of these

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Both of these
    Explanation
    The consent of a party is not free when it is caused by fraud or mistake. Fraud refers to intentionally deceiving or misleading someone in order to gain an advantage. Mistake, on the other hand, refers to a misunderstanding or incorrect belief about a fact or situation. In both cases, the party's consent is influenced or manipulated, making it not freely given. Therefore, both fraud and mistake can invalidate the consent of a party.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which of the following elements do not affect the free consent of the parties ?

    • Coercion

    • Fraud

    • Incompetency

    • Mistake

    Correct Answer
    A. Incompetency
    Explanation
    Incompetency does not affect the free consent of the parties. Incompetency refers to the lack of mental capacity or legal ability to understand and make informed decisions. While it may impact other aspects of a legal agreement, such as the validity of the contract, it does not directly affect the free consent of the parties. Free consent is the voluntary agreement of both parties without any undue influence or coercion. Coercion, fraud, and mistake, on the other hand, can all undermine the free consent of the parties by exerting pressure, deception, or misunderstanding.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which of the following elements do not affect the free p[;'-0consent of the parties ?

    • Void

    • Voidable

    • Valid

    • Illegal

    Correct Answer
    A. Voidable
    Explanation
    Voidable elements do not affect the free consent of the parties. Voidable refers to a contract that is valid and enforceable, but one or both parties have the option to void or cancel the contract due to certain circumstances such as fraud, misrepresentation, coercion, or undue influence. These elements may create a situation where one party's consent was not given freely, and therefore, the contract can be voided at the option of the affected party.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    In cases where both the parties to an agreement are under a mistake as to the fact essential to the agreement, the agreement is 

    • Void

    • Voidable

    • Valid

    • Illegal

    Correct Answer
    A. Void
    Explanation
    If both parties to an agreement are mistaken about a fact that is essential to the agreement, the agreement is considered void. This means that the agreement is not legally binding and has no legal effect.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    In which of the following cases, of mistake of both the parties, the contract is void ab initio because of complete absence of consent ?

    • Where there is error as to the nature of the contract

    • Where there is error as to the identify of the parties

    • Where there is error as to the subject- matter of the contract

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    In all of the mentioned cases, there is a mistake of both parties regarding different aspects of the contract. When there is an error as to the nature of the contract, it means that both parties have misunderstood or misinterpreted the purpose or essence of the contract. When there is an error as to the identity of the parties, it means that both parties have mistaken each other's identities or have been deceived about their true identities. When there is an error as to the subject-matter of the contract, it means that both parties have misunderstood or misapprehended the object or subject of the contract. In all these cases, the contract is void ab initio because there is a complete absence of consent due to the mutual mistakes.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    The effect of 'no free consent' and 'no consent at all' is the same on the validity of a contract as in the cases, the contract is voidable.

    • True,as all the elements affecting consent render the contract voidable

    • False,as 'no consent all' covers the case of mistake of both the parties as to the fact essential to the contract. Which makes void ab initio

    Correct Answer
    A. False,as 'no consent all' covers the case of mistake of both the parties as to the fact essential to the contract. Which makes void ab initio
    Explanation
    The correct answer is False. This is because "no consent at all" covers the case of a mistake made by both parties regarding a fact that is essential to the contract. In such cases, the contract is considered void ab initio, meaning it is void from the beginning and has no legal effect. This is different from a voidable contract, where one party has the option to either affirm or reject the contract due to a lack of free consent.

This means that the person is being forced or compelled to enter into the contract against their will. Coercion is a form of duress and is considered to be a wrongful act. It invalidates the consent given by the person and renders the contract voidable at their option.

    Threatening to detain any property of a person in order to obtain his consent to a contract is considered coercion. Coercion refers to the act of using force or threats to compel someone to do something against their will.

This is an example of coercion as it involves the use of force or threats to obtain consent, which is not freely given.

    • Coercion

    • Fraud

    • None of these

    The correct answer is coercion. Coercion refers to the act of forcing someone to do something against their will through threats or intimidation. In this scenario, A is threatening to kill B if he does not sell his scooter to him for a specific price. This threat of harm is a form of coercion, as it is being used to obtain B's consent to sell the scooter.

    • Committing any act forbidden by Indian Penal Code(IPC).

    • Committing an act forbidden by IPC at a place where the IPC is not in force

    • Threat to file a civil suit

    • Unlawful detaining any property

    Correct Answer
    A. Threat to file a civil suit
    Explanation
    Consent is not caused by coercion if it is obtained through a threat to file a civil suit. Coercion refers to the use of force or threats to make someone do something against their will. In this case, the threat to file a civil suit can be seen as a form of pressure or intimidation, but it does not involve physical force. Therefore, the person giving consent under this threat may not be considered to have been coerced into giving their consent.

    Rate this question:

  • 25.

    • Causing loss to the other party

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Causing the other party to enter into contract
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Causing the other party to enter into contract". According to Section 15 of the Indian Penal Code, coercion involves committing or threatening to commit any act forbidden by the IPC or unlawfully detaining or threatening to detain any property with the intention of causing the other party to enter into a contract. This means that the person is using force or threats to make the other party agree to a contract against their will.

    Correct Answer
    A. May be initiated by a party or by any person, even by a stranger
    Explanation
    Coercion refers to the act of forcing someone to do something against their will by threatening them with harm or injury. In the context of a contract, coercion can be initiated by either a party to the contract or by any person, including a stranger. This means that anyone, whether they are a party to the contract or not, can use coercion to influence someone into entering or modifying a contract. Therefore, the correct answer is that coercion may be initiated by a party or by any person, even by a stranger.

    • Valid

    • Void

    • Voidable

    • Illegal

    Correct Answer
    A. Voidable
    Explanation
    When the consent of a party is obtained by coercion, it means that the party agreed to the contract under duress or force. In such a situation, the contract is considered voidable. This means that the party who was coerced has the option to either affirm the contract or rescind it. The coerced party can choose to continue with the contract if they wish, but they also have the right to cancel it if they believe they were unfairly influenced.

    Rate this question:

  • 31.

    • Either party to the contract

    • A party whose consent was so obtained

    • A party who obtained the consent

    • Court deciding the case

    Correct Answer
    A. A party whose consent was so obtained
    Explanation
    When a party's consent is obtained by coercion, it means that they were forced or threatened into agreeing to the contract. In such a situation, the party whose consent was coerced has the option to void the contract. This means that they can choose to cancel or terminate the contract without any legal consequences. The other party involved in the contract does not have the right to void the contract, only the party whose consent was coerced. Therefore, the correct answer is "a party whose consent was so obtained."

    Rate this question:

    • Invalid

    Correct Answer
    A. Voidable
    Explanation
    If the consent is obtained by coercion, it means that it was obtained through threats of committing an act that is forbidden by the Indian Penal Code (IPC). In this case, if the IPC is not in force at the place where the coercion is committed, the contract is considered voidable. This means that the party whose consent was obtained through coercion has the option to either affirm or reject the contract. They can choose to continue with the contract or declare it void and unenforceable.

    • Section 16(1)

    • Section 16(2)

    • Section 18

    Correct Answer
    A. Section 16(2)
    Explanation
    Section 16(2) provides the circumstance in which one party is presumed to dominate the will of another. This section states that a contract is voidable if the consent of a party is obtained by undue influence. Undue influence occurs when one party uses their position of power or authority to exploit or manipulate the other party, causing them to enter into a contract against their own free will. Therefore, Section 16(2) is the correct answer as it specifically addresses the presumption of dominance in a contract due to undue influence.

    Explanation
    Undue influence refers to a situation where one party has the power to control or dominate the will of another party, and they use this superior position to obtain the consent of the weaker party. This can involve manipulating or pressuring the weaker party into agreeing to something against their own interests. Unlike coercion or duress, which involve more direct forms of force or threats, undue influence often occurs in more subtle or manipulative ways. Fraud, on the other hand, involves intentionally deceiving or misleading someone to obtain their consent.

    • Coercion

    • Undue influence

    • Fraud

    • Misrepresentation

    Correct Answer
    A. Undue influence
    Explanation
    Undue influence refers to the unfair persuasion of someone into entering a contract or making a decision against their own free will. It involves the exertion of power or authority over another person, making it difficult for them to resist or make independent choices. The domination of will is a crucial element in proving the existence of undue influence. This means that one party has a significant control or influence over the other, thereby undermining their ability to make decisions freely and without coercion. In this context, the domination of will is an essential requirement for establishing undue influence.

    • Holds a real or apparent authority over the other

    • Makes a contract with another in mental distress

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. All of these
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of these". This means that a party is presumed to dominate the will of another if they hold a real or apparent authority over the other person, make a contract with them while they are in mental distress, or if they stand in a fiduciary relation to the other person. In all of these situations, the party has a certain level of power or influence over the other person, which can potentially lead to the domination of their will.

    • None of these

    • Both of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Trust and confidence
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Trust and confidence". Fiduciary relations refer to a relationship based on trust and confidence, where one party (the fiduciary) is entrusted with the responsibility of acting in the best interest of another party (the beneficiary). This relationship involves a high level of trust and requires the fiduciary to put the beneficiary's interests above their own. It does not involve a senior-junior relationship or include both trust and confidence as options.

    • Does not raise the presumption of undue influence

    • Raises the presumption of fraud being a employed

    Correct Answer
    A. Raises the presumption of undue influence
    Explanation
    The fiduciary relationship raises the presumption of undue influence because it involves a high level of trust and reliance on one party by another. In a fiduciary relationship, one party has a duty to act in the best interest of the other party, which can create a power imbalance and the potential for manipulation or coercion. Therefore, when a fiduciary relationship exists, it is assumed that the party in the position of power may have exerted undue influence over the other party, leading to a presumption of undue influence.

    A. Trusted and beneficiary
    Explanation
    The relationship that typically falls in the category of 'fiduciary relations' and usually raises the presumption of undue influence is:
    Trusted and beneficiary
    In a fiduciary relationship, the trustee is expected to act in the best interests of the beneficiary, and any undue influence in such relationships may be subject to scrutiny. The other relationships mentioned (Parent and child, Landlord and tenant, Woman and her confidential managing agents) may involve trust but might not inherently fall under the fiduciary category.

    • Both of these

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Domination of will
    Explanation
    When a contract is made with a person who is in a state of metal distress, it raises the presumption of domination of will. This means that the person may not have been able to fully understand the terms of the contract or make an informed decision due to their mental state. The presumption of domination of will suggests that the other party may have taken advantage of the vulnerable individual, exerting undue influence over them to enter into the contract. Therefore, the correct answer is domination of will.

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Undue influence
    Explanation
    Contracts with a pardanashin woman, who is typically secluded and lacks exposure to the outside world, raise the presumption of undue influence. This is because such women are more susceptible to being coerced or manipulated into entering into contracts against their own interests. The presumption of undue influence implies that there is a strong likelihood that the woman was taken advantage of or influenced improperly when entering into the contract.
