A contract in which, under the terms of a contract, one or both the parties have still to perform their obligations in future, is known as-
-
Executed contract
-
Executory contract
-
Unilateral contract
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Executory contractExplanation
An executory contract refers to a contract where one or both parties have yet to fulfill their obligations in the future. This means that the terms of the contract have been agreed upon, but the performance of those terms is still pending. It is different from an executed contract, where both parties have already fulfilled their obligations. A unilateral contract is a type of contract where one party makes a promise in exchange for the other party's performance, while none of the above is self-explanatory.Rate this question:

‘A’ invites ‘B’ for his son’s wedding. ‘B’ accepts the invitation. In this case, there is an agreement but no contract, since-
-
There is no consideration
-
There is no intention to create legal relationship
-
There is no written document
-
There is no formal acceptance of the offer
Correct Answer
A. There is no intention to create legal relationshipExplanation
In this scenario, the absence of a contract is due to the lack of intention to create a legal relationship. Although 'A' invited 'B' to his son's wedding and 'B' accepted the invitation, this arrangement is considered a social agreement rather than a legally binding contract. The intention to create legal relations is an essential element of a contract, and without it, there is no enforceable agreement. The other options, such as the absence of consideration, a written document, or a formal acceptance, may also be factors, but the primary reason for the absence of a contract in this case is the lack of intention to create legal relations.Rate this question:

‘A’ promised to pay his son ‘B’ a sum of Rs 1 Lac if ‘B’ passed CA exams in the first attempt. ‘B’ passed the exam in the first attempt, but ‘A’ failed to pay the amount as promised. ‘B’ files a sit for recovery of the amount. State whether ‘B’ can recover the amount under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
-
B can sue A
-
B has to pay Rs 1 Lac to A
-
B has no remedy against A
-
B has to write the exam again, to claim the reward
Correct Answer
A. B has no remedy against AExplanation
B cannot recover the amount under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Although A promised to pay B a sum of Rs 1 Lac if B passed the CA exams in the first attempt, there is no legally enforceable contract between them. The promise made by A is a mere moral obligation and not a legally binding agreement. Therefore, B does not have any legal remedy to recover the amount promised by A.Rate this question:
