    Question

    A contingent contract dependent on the happening of a future uncertain event can be enforced when the event -

    A.

    Happens

    B.

    Becomes impossible

    C.

    Does not happen

    D.

    None of the above

    Correct option is A


    A contingent contract is a type of contract that depends on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a future uncertain event. Under Section 32 of the Indian Contract Act, such a contract can be enforced only when the event happens. If the event does not happen or becomes impossible, the contract becomes void.
    Information Booster:
    In a contingent contract, the obligation to perform depends on a future event that is uncertain. The contract can only be enforced when the specified event takes place. For example, a contract for the sale of goods contingent upon a ship arriving in port can only be enforced if the ship indeed arrives.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Becomes impossible (b): If the event becomes impossible, the contract is void and cannot be enforced.
    · Does not happen (c): If the event does not happen, the contract cannot be enforced.
