Enforceability.
Every contract is an agreement, but every agreement is not always a
contract. An agreement creating a legal obligation is said to be enforceable
by law. The parties to an agreement must be bound to perform their
promises and in case of default by either of them, must intend to sue. For
an agreement to be enforceable by law there should be legal obligation
instead of social, moral or religious obligation.

Adeel invited Babar on a dinner at his home. Babar accepted the invitation.
It is a social agreement. If Adeel fails to serve dinner to Babar then Babar
cannot go to court for enforcing the agreement and similarly if Babar did not
turn up then Adeel cannot go to court for enforcing the agreement.

Adeel invited Babar on a dinner at some function. Babar accepted the


invitation and it is agreed upon that they have legal intention to enforce the
agreement.
It is a social agreement with intention to create legal relation.
If Adeel fails to serve dinner to Babar then Babar can go to court for
enforcing the agreement and similarly if Babar did not turn up then Adeel
can go to court for enforcing the agreement.
Note: In examination if it is clearly mentioned that parties have legal
intention then we consider it enforceable by law only written agreement will
not create enforceability. 23

Communication of acceptance was completed as against Saleem when the

on 5 September 2018 i.e. when the letter of revocation was posted, and as
against Ghazi on 7 September 2018, when the letter of revocation was
received by him.
Since Ghazi had posted his letter of acceptance on 6 September 2018 and
revocation of offer was communicated to him on 7 September 2018, his
acceptance was valid Saleem cannot revoke his offer after 6 September 2018,
when the communication of acceptance was completed as against him.

ICAP Study Text Example


Ahmed being interested in purchasing Adil’s DHA property sent
him this letter on 01 March 2019, “I have heard that you are
selling your DHA property. I am very much interested in
purchasing it. Will you please consider selling the same to me?
What is the highest price you have been offered so far?” Adil
replied, “The highest quote for the property till now is Rs. 35
million.” Ahmed replied, “I agree to buy your DHA property for Rs.
36 million.” Subsequently, Adil received an offer from Hamid
quoting Rs. 38 million for the said property. What will be Adil’s
liability towards Ahmed if he wishes to make the sale to Hamid?

70

70

35
3/25/2024

The first letter from Ahmed and Adil’s response on it were


merely ‘asking for information’ and ‘providing information’
respectively and not offer and acceptance. The second letter
from Ahmed sent as a reply to Adil was itself an offer and not
the acceptance of an offer. Since this offer had not been
accepted by Adil, there is no binding contract between the
parties. Accordingly, there is no liability if Adil sells his bungalow
to Hamid.

71

71

Manner of revocation of proposal [Section 6]


A proposal may be revoked in following ways:
a) by the communication of notice of revocation by the proposer to the
other party;
b) by the lapse of the time prescribed in such proposal for its acceptance, or,
if no time is so prescribed, by the lapse of a reasonable time, without
communication of the acceptance;
c) by the failure of the acceptor to fulfil a condition precedent to acceptance;
or
d) by the death or insanity of the proposer, if the fact of his death or insanity
comes to the knowledge of the acceptor before acceptance.
e) An offer is also terminated by non-acceptance or rejection by offeree.
f) An offer is also terminated by counter offer. A counter offer is an offer by
offeree in response to the original offer.
g) An offer once accepted becomes a contract and cannot be revoked. 72
