1 Legality of Consideration and Object S. 23 JMM KLELC 1
2 S. 23 What considerations and objects are lawful, and what not The consideration or object of an agreement is lawful, unless- 1. It is forbidden by law; or 2. is of such a nature that,if permitted, it would defeat the provisions of any law; or 3. is fraudulent; or 4. Involves and implies injury to the person or property of another; or 5. The court regards it as immoral, or opposed to public policy. In each of these cases, the consideration or object of an agreement is said to be unlawful. Every agreement of JMM KLELC 2 which the object or consideration is unlawful, is void.
3 Illustrations A agrees to sell his house to B for Rs. 10,000. Here B's promise to pay the sum of Rs. 10,000 is the consideration for A's promise to sell the house, and A's promise to sell the house is the consideration for B's promise to pay Rs. 10,000. These are lawful considerations. A promises to pay B 1,000 rupees at the end of six months, if C, who owes that sum to B, fails to pay it. B promises to grant time to C accordingly. Here the promise-of each party is the consideration for the promise of the other party. They are lawful considerations. JMM KLELC 3
4 A promises, for a certain sum paid to him by B, to make good to B the value of his ship if it is wrecked on a certain voyage. Here A's promise is the consideration for B's payment and B's payment is the consideration for A's promise These are lawful considerations. A promises to maintain B's child and B promises to pay A 1,000 rupees yearly for the purpose. Here the promise of each party is the consideration for the promise of the 'other party. They are lawful considerations. JMM KLELC 4
5 A, B and C enter into an agreement for the division among them of gains acquired, or to be acquired, by them by fraud. The agreement is void, as its object is unlawful. A promises to obtain for B an employment in the public service, and B promises to pay 1,000 rupees to A. The agreement is void, as the consideration for it is unlawful. JMM KLELC 5
6 A, being agent for a landed proprietor, agrees for money, without the knowledge of his principal, to obtain for B a lease of land belonging to his principal. The agreement between A and B is void. as it implies a fraud by concealment, by A, on his principal. A promises B to drop a prosecution which he has instituted against B for robbery, and B promises to restore the value of the things taken. The agreement is void, as its object is unlawful. JMM KLELC 6
7 A's estate is sold for arrears of revenue under the provisions of an Act of the Legislature, by which the defaulter is prohibited from purchasing, the estate. B, upon an understanding with A, becomes the purchaser, and agrees to convey the estate to A upon receiving from him the price which B has paid. The agreement is void, as it renders the transaction, in effect a purchase by the defaulter, and would so defeat the object of the law. JMM KLELC 7
8 A, who is B's mukhtar, promises to exercise his influence, as such, with B in favour of C, and C promises to pay 1,000 rupees to A. The agreement is void, because it is immoral A agrees to let her daughter to hire to B for concubinage. The agreement is void, because it is immoral, though the letting may not be punishable under the Indian Penal Code. (45 of 1860.) JMM KLELC 8
9 Consideration or object Forbidden by law Defeat the provision of any law Fraudulent Injury to person or property Immoral/opposed public policy JMM KLELC 9
10 Analysis of S. 23 Object or Consideration The section covers legality of consideration and object as well. Object and consideration sometimes may be different both shall be lawful Eg. loan for child marriage consideration lawful but object unlawful -defeats the purpose of CMRA JMM KLELC 10
11 Forbidden by Law Object of an agreement forbidden by law is void Law law in force in India, personal laws unwritten principles of law Eg. Sale of liquor without license void & price irrecoverable Eg. License to run liquor shop sale, transfer, sublease of license or creation of partnership to run liquor shop agreement of partnership void Eg. An agreement to buy goods (jaggery powder) above control price void JMM KLELC 11
12 Defeat the provision of any law Object or consideration of an agreement is such that though it is not directly prohibited, if permitted, would defeat the provision of any law, such agreement is also void. Sundersingh v. krishnasingh agreement by the accused with surety for providing security under Cr. P.C. void Agreement to defeat the law of a friendly country is also void Foster v. Driscoll Agreement to buy whisky in Great Britain & to smuggle it in to US led to commission of offence in a foreign & friendly country breach of international comity hence void. JMM KLELC 12
13 But innocent violation of municipal or foreign law which may not offend public conscience, may not make the agreement void Howard v. Shirlaster Container Transport Ltd Owner of an aircraft agreed with the pt for successfully removing his aircraft from Nigerian territorial airspace. Pt did so without permission of the Nigerian authorities and landed it in Ivory coast. The pt did so under the belief that there was imminent danger to lives in Nigeria. Pt sued for fees Held: allowed to recover. Although court would not normally enforce a contract to enable a pt to benefit from his criminal conduct, because to do so, would offend public conscience. There are circumstances, it would be wrong to disqualify a person from recovering, even though his conduct constituted statutory offence. JMM KLELC 13
14 Fraudulent An agreement made for a fraudulent purpose to deceive third parties is void Eg. Agreement with debtor and creditor that the creditor would get separate commission for inducing other creditors to enter into composition of their debts. Eg. Two decree holders - Pt, decree holder with property attachment brought it to sale agreed with the dt to buy for lesser price and then pay him a sum property was knocked down to dt for a small price. Held, agreement void, it deprived the other decree holder of what he would have got if the sale had been competitive. JMM KLELC 14
15 Injury to person or property An agreement to injure the person or property of another is unlawful and void Eg. A person barrowed a sum of Rs. 100 and agreed to serve pt for 2 yrs without pay and in case of default to pay the exorbitant interest and principal at once. Held, it involved slavery and unlawful and void agreement to commit assault, hurt, defamation, etc Eg. Agreement of insurance insured committing suicide to help dependents void. JMM KLELC 15
16 Immoral Agreement tainted immorality is not enforced Immorality depends on standards of morality prevailing in a society at a given time and as approved by courts. Instances of immorality- 1. Interference with marital relations Eg. Money lent to a married woman to enable her to get divorce from her husband and promise to marry the lender void Promise to marry a woman after her husband s death void JMM KLELC 16
17 Immoral Fender v. St. John dt a married man told a nurse that he was unhappy with his wife and enquired whether she would marry him if his wife divorces him she consented, sexual relations took place dt s wife secured decree of divorce on the ground of adultery dt committed breach and married another HELD: pt was allowed to claim compensation circumstances leading to mischief were absent hence not immoral. JMM KLELC 17
18 2. Dealings with Prostitutes Always considered immoral Eg. sale/hiring of goods to a prostitute for enabling her to carry on her business void Landlord knowingly letting his house for carrying on the business of prostitution void JMM KLELC 18
19 3. Illegal cohabitation England past consideration not valid if promised in writing to pay for illegal cohabitation India promise to pay fori. Adulterous cohabitation, past/ present/future void ii. Future cohabitation void iii. Past cohabitation to secure it in future void iv. Past cohabitation only valid JMM KLELC 19
20 Opposed to public policy An agreement is unlawful if the court regards its object or consideration as opposed to public policy public policy vague & unsatisfactory term. TEST: the twin touchstones of public policy are, advancement of public good and prevention of public mischief. These questions have to be decided by judges not as men of legal learning but as experienced and enlightened members of the community representing the highest common factor of public sentiment and intelligence Eg. Surrender of rights, sale of seats in public offices, JMM KLELC 20 etc.
21 Heads of Public Policy Trading with Enemy Trafficking in Public Office Interference with Administration of justice Marriage Brokerage contracts Unfair or Unreasonable dealings Interference with Course of justice Shifting Prosecution Maintenance and Champerty JMM KLELC 21
22 1. Trading with an enemy Object of war is to cripple the commerce of enemy country A declaration of war imports prohibition of commercial intercourse and correspondence with the inhabitants of enemy country. Illegal except with the permission of the Crown. JMM KLELC 22
23 2. Trafficking in Public offices An agreement with a public officer to act corruptly is contrary to public policy. Agreement to provide money to a parliamentarian to influence his judgment sale of public offices in consideration of money. JMM KLELC 23
24 3. Interference with Administration of Justice Interference with course of justice Shifting prosecution Maintenance & Champerty JMM KLELC 24
25 4. Marriage brokerage contracts An agreement to procure marriage of a person in consideration of money void Agreement for the sale of girl void Attempt to make any material gain out of marriage is equally opposed public policy and void Gifts promised at the time of marriage void JMM KLELC 25
26 5. Unfair and unreasonable dealings Where- Parties economically are not on same footing Unequal bargaining power One in a position to exploit and the other is vulnerable Bargain is apparently unfair Opposed to public policy Eg. Service contracts. JMM KLELC 26
