SURAT AL-BAQARAH 2:282
“O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specific term, write
it down. And let a scribe write [it] between you in justice. Let no scribe refuse
to write as Allah has taught him. So let him write and let the one who has the
obligation dictate. And let him fear Allah, his Lord, and not leave anything
out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is of limited understanding or
weak or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice.
And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are
not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you
accept as witnesses – so that if one of the women errs, then the other can
remind her. And let not the witnesses refuse when they are called upon. And
do not be [too] weary to write it, whether it is small or large, for its [specified]
term. That is more just in the sight of Allah and stronger as evidence and
more likely to prevent doubt between you, except when it is an immediate
transaction which you conduct among yourselves. For [then] there is no
blame upon you if you do not write it. And take witnesses when you conclude
a contract. Let no scribe be harmed or any witness. For if you do so, indeed, it
is [grave] disobedience in you. And fear Allah. And Allah teaches you. And
Allah is knowing of all things.”

CLASSIFICATION OF CONTRACT

On the basis of creation, a typical contract can be


classified as:

Express Implied
Creation Creation

Section 9 of Contract Act 1872 elaborates:

‘In so far as
the proposal or acceptance of any promises
made in words, the promise is said to be expressed. In so
far as such proposal or acceptance is made otherwise than
in words, the promise is said to be implied.

Rahat Aziz Contract Management Workshop– Sep 2013 IBA-CEE


CLASSIFICATION OF CONTRACT
BASED ON ‘EXECUTION’

Executed Executory
Executed Contract:
A Contract in which the task or action has been
completed by one or both the parties. The parties are said
to be ‘discharged’ of the contract.

Executory Contract:
A contract in which a task or action is yet to be
completed or partially completed.

ENFORCEABILITY OF A
CONTRACT
C. A of 1872 S.2(g) An agreement not enforceable by law is to
be ‘void’.
C. A of 1872 S.2(h) An agreement not enforceable by law is a
‘Contract’.

VOID CONTRACTS VOIDABLE CONTRACTS


• A Void Contract is, a as matter of law, no • Voidable means that there is a contract, but
Contract at all. For example, if we imagine that A one of the parties has an option to ‘avoid’ that
and B enter into a contract for the sale of illegal contract, at which point it becomes void. If the
drugs, that contract would be void. It means that party choose not to exercise that option, then the
the purported contract has no legal effect. contract continues normally.

CONTINGENT CONTRACTS

S. 31 of CA 1872 defines:
“A contingent contract is a contract to do or not to do
something, if some event, collateral to such contact does
not happen.”

Example

A Contract to sell B 10 gadgets for Rs. 10,000/-, if the ship


by which they are coming returns safely.

Rahat Aziz Contract Management Workshop– Sep 2013 IBA-CEE


QUASI - CONTRACTS

those created by contract are imposed by law although the
parties have never entered into the contract. Such
obligations imposed by law are referred to as ‘Quasi -
Contracts’.

‘S. 68 -72 of CA 1872 further elaborate such contract and


gives guidelines about its applications ’
