📖 1. Vitiating Factors

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Vitiating Factors: Elements that can undermine the validity of a contract by affecting its formation or enforceability, such as mistake, illegality, misrepresentation, or duress.

  • Mistake: A fundamental error made by one or both parties at the time of contract formation, which can render the contract void or voidable if it is so serious that it negates agreement.

  • Common Mistake: A type of mistake where both parties share the same erroneous belief about a vital fact related to the contract, which can lead to the contract being declared void.

  • Illegality: A situation where a contract is considered invalid because it involves illegal activities or violates statutes or public policy, making it unenforceable.

  • Guarantee: A contractual promise where one party agrees to pay the debt or fulfill the obligations of another if that party fails to do so, providing additional security for a debt.

  • Indemnity: A contractual agreement where one party agrees to compensate another for loss or damage, often used to allocate risk and provide security outside the scope of a guarantee.
