The Foundation of Commercial Law: The Contract Act, 1872
The Contract Act, 1872, is the cornerstone of all commercial and business dealings in Pakistan. It provides the legal framework that governs the creation and enforcement of agreements, making it one of the most critical subjects for any law student, business professional, or competitive exam candidate to master.
What Makes a Contract Valid?
At its heart, the Contract Act defines what constitutes a legally binding agreement. The famous Section 10 outlines the essential elements: a lawful proposal (offer) met with a valid acceptance, supported by lawful consideration and a lawful object, made by parties competent to contract with their free consent, and not expressly declared to be void. Understanding each of these components is key to grasping the entire Act.
