Preston v. Bull Contract Law Showdown
contract clat_ug beginner mcq_debateDude, I'm telling you, the answer is C. Contract becomes void if it's induced by fraud. We were studying the Indian Contract Act and this case, Preston v. Bull (1882), came up. The court ruled that the contract was induced by fraud, so it's void. But my friend is saying, no no, it's just a voidable contract. He's saying that even if the contract is induced by fraud, you can still choose to go through with it. But I'm like, what's the point of even having a rule about fraud if it's just voidable? My friend is quoting section 22 of the Indian Contract Act, saying it's a valid contract if there's consent, but what about the consent obtained by fraud?
