Contract Notes - 3

Object and Consideration in Contract Act, 1872 Object of a Contract The object of a contract is the purpose or intention behind the agreement between parties. For an agreement to be enforceable as a contract, its object must be lawful and not opposed to public policy or morality. The lawful object is a necessary element of a valid contract. If the object of the contract is illegal or immoral, the agreement is void. Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act states that the consideration or object of an agreement is lawful unless it is forbidden by law, or is opposed to public policy, or is fraudulent, or involves injury to the person or property of another, or the court regards it as immoral or opposed to public policy.
