AGREEMENT
Section 2 (e) defines an agreement as “every promise and
every set of promises, forming the consideration for each
other.”
In this context the word Promise is defined by sec 2 (b).
It states that in a contract there are atleast two parties.
One of them makes a proposal (offer) to the other, to do
something, with a view to obtain assent of the other to
such act.
When the person to whom proposal is made signifies his
assent, the proposal is said to be accepted.
The proposal when accepted becomes promise.
The person making the proposal is called “Promisor”
and the person accepting the proposal is called
“Promisee”.
