According to Section 2(h) of the Indian Contract Act 1872, An agreement enforceable by law is a contract.

Section 3 of the Indian Contract Act states that communication can be made by an act or omission, the first mode any act means any conduct and words, written or oral.…

Article content Opponents of the province’s plan to build a new jail on Kempville farmland will have their day in court after a judge ruled their case can proceed with a judicial review.Article content Justice Robert Smith said in his ruling this week that the opposition group’s legal effort to overturn the province’s decision should be heard by a full judicial panel of the Divisional Court. The judge noted in his decision that the province “failed to follow several provisions of its provincial policy statement when deciding to build a correctional facility in the town of Kemptville.” The ruling clears yet another hurdle in the ongoing efforts by grassroots opposition groups — the crowdfunded legal challenge is headed by residents Kirk Albert and Victor Lachance — to reverse the province’s decision to build the proposed 235-bed Eastern Ontario Correctional Center in their community.…

Donald Trump’s legal team recently urged the Manhattan district attorney’s office not to indict the former president over his role in paying hush money to a porn star, arguing that the payments would have been made irrespective of his 2016 presidential candidacy, sources familiar with the matter have said. The lawyer who represented the Trump team at the meeting with the district attorney’s office, Susan Necheles, also argued that campaign funds had not been used for the payments to the porn star, known as Stormy Daniels, and were therefore not a violation of campaign finance laws. The arguments presented to the district attorney’s office mark the most formal defense that the Trump team have raised to date, as they attempt to settle on a strategy to avoid conviction in the event that the former president is charged with a misdemeanor or felony over the payments .…

The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has forced a Hamilton developer’s employee to resign after misleading investors who gave the developer $19 million for the Buffalo Grand Hotel in New York — but documents from the proceedings state the employee didn’t know he broke the rules and was relying on the developer, Harry Stinson. Stinson, who moved to Hamilton in 2008 and is behind numerous local projects and developments, is still waiting to hear his fate. He said he disagreed with the allegations before the tribunal and continued to work on a settlement with OSC. “There is indeed a more fulsome story to be recounted, but it is best done once we’ve completed the project and proves the point this was a valid project, a valid investment,” he told CBC Hamilton, adding he couldn’t say much more about the case.…
