    Question

    Under Indian Law of Contract "consensus ad idem" means:

    A.

    to agree on the same thing in the same sense

    B.

    no agreement can have more than one meaning

    C.

    to agree in the same way

    D.

    to agree on different things in the same sense

    Correct option is A


    Consensus ad idem means that both parties in a contract must agree to the same thing, in the same sense, at the same time. This is crucial for a contract to be valid under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
    Information Booster:
    In order for a contract to be valid, both parties must have a mutual understanding of the terms, which is the essence of consensus ad idem (meeting of minds).
    Additional Information:
    · Option (b): An agreement may have different interpretations, but this does not necessarily mean a contract cannot exist.
    · Option (c): It is about agreeing on the same thing, not just agreeing in the same way.
    · Option (d): If the parties agree on different things, there is no meeting of minds.
