ABOUT THE BOOK

Thomson’s The India Contract Act, 1872 by Justice S.D. Dave – 1st Edition 2023. When a litigant approaches the Court for the redressal of his grievances related to a contract or relations resembling those created by contract, he is required to establish a contract or such relations, either scripted or oral, and bears the burden of proving the same. He is required to prove free consent of the parties, competent to contract, and the object not being expressly declared to be avoid. The responsibility, later, falls on his Counsel to convince the Court. The task of the Counsel would be less demanding if he finds himself assisted by precedents. It is therefore that the Essay reproduces the celebrated languages of Lord Halsbury, Justice Chitty and H.T.Colebrooke on important issues and travels to year 1893, and even before, to study English decisions discussed by Lincoln’s Inn barrister Ms. Jill Poole. The Essay discusses a number of decisions rendered by the High Courts and the Supreme Court. The individual opinions, thought process and legal philosophy of the Judges on the Bench, both concurring and dissenting, have also been studied, making the Essay a handy and complete code.
