  • A) Inevitable accident
  • B) Act of God
  • C) Mistake of law
  • D) Plaintiff’s own wrong (contributory negligence)
Answer is c is correct. Mistake of law is not a valid defence in torts. A tort is a civil wrong and liability may arise regardless of the wrongdoer's intent or knowledge of the law. Other defences like inevitable accident, act of God, and contributory negligence are recognized. Therefore, option C is correct.

  • D) Breach of warranty makes the contract void ab initio
Answer is c is correct. According to Section 13 of SOGA, a buyer may waive a condition or elect to treat its breach as a breach of warranty. This flexibility allows the buyer to continue with the contract and claim damages instead of repudiating it. Therefore, option C is correct.

  • A) Let the buyer beware
  • B) The buyer has no rights
  • C) The seller must disclose everything
  • D) The buyer can cancel any contract
Answer is a is correct. Section 16 of SOGA embodies the principle of “Caveat Emptor”, which means the buyer must be cautious and perform due diligence before buying. However, there are exceptions- such as implied conditions as to quality or fitness for a particular purpose when the buyer relies on the seller’s expertise. Therefore, option A is correct.
Question5:- A minor enters into a contract for purchasing a laptop and pays ₹10,000 as advance. Later, he refuses to accept delivery. What is the legal position of the contract?
  • A) The contract is voidable at the option of the minor
  • B) The contract is valid and enforceable
  • C) The contract is void ab initio
  • D) The contract is valid if ratified after majority
Answer is c is correct. A contract entered into by a minor is void ab initio (from the beginning) as per Mohori Bibee v. Dharmodas Ghose (1903). Minors are considered incompetent to contract under Section 11 of the Indian Contract Act. Therefore, such a contract cannot be enforced, and even ratification after attaining majority does not make it valid. Therefore, option C is correct.
