Question

In which of the following circumstances a valid contract is transformed into a void contract _____________________.

• A. On subsequent illegality
• B. On subsequent impossibility
• C. Both the cases
• D. None of the above cases

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both the cases

The section 2(j) of the Act defines a void contract as “A contract which ceases to be enforceable by law becomes void when it ceases to be enforceable”. This makes all those contracts that are not enforceable by a court of law as void. Any valid contract will become a void one when the object and consideration of the contract becomes illegal subsequently or becomes impossible to perform.
