What is a reasonable time for the performance of a contract?
Question

What is a reasonable time for the performance of a contract?

A.

is a question of fact

B.

is a question of law

C.

is a question of fact and law

D.

is a question of prudence

Correct option is A


Under Section 46 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, when no time is specified for the performance of a contract, it must be performed within a reasonable time. Determining what constitutes "reasonable time" depends on the facts of the case.
Information Booster:
The assessment of what is considered "reasonable time" is determined based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the specific contract. Hence, it is a factual determination.
Additional Information:
· Option (b): This is incorrect because "reasonable time" is not a legal issue but a factual one based on circumstances.
· Option (c): The Q of reasonable time is not a combined fact and law matter, as it's primarily based on the facts of the case.
· Option (d): Prudence, or wise judgment, is not the basis for determining "reasonable time" under contract law.
