To make a contract valid, not only consent is necessary, even it should also be free. In law of contract consent is said to be free if it is not caused by any of the following: -
Coercion
Undue influence
Fraud
Misrepresentation
Mistake
There is a distinction in between consent and free consent. If consent is affect or taken by one of the above express elements than it will be not deemed as free consent.
Courts use the term "unconscionable" to describe conduct that is either unjust or one-sided to benefit one party more than the other. In contract law, an unconscionable contract is one that no reasonable person would enter into without some very compelling reason. Those who do end up entering into unconscionable contracts tend to be poorly educated, living in poverty, or have been unable to find a fairer agreement elsewhere.

Ad idem
1. Name: Anam Amjad
Reg #: mb103088
Date: 2 -04-2012
Course: Introduction to Business Law
Section: 04
Assignment No: 02
Description: Note on Free consent
Submitted to: Mr. Raja Akbar
2. FREE CONSENT
AD IDEM
It is essential to the creation of a contract that the parties are ad idem i.e. they agree upon the
same thing in the same sense at the same time and that their consent is free and real.
WHAT IS A CONSENT:
IT means acquiescence or act of assenting to an offer.
“Two or more persons are said to consent when they agree upon the same
thing in the same sense”
(Sec 13)
WHAT IS FREE CONSENT:
Consent is said to be free when it is not caused by:
Coercion as defined in Sec.15
Undue influence as defined in Sec.16
Fraud as defined in Sec.17
Misrepresentation as defined in Sec.18
Mistake, subject to the provisions of Secs.20,21 and 22 (Sec.14)
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS CONSENT:
WHEN THERE IS NO CONSENT, THERE IS NO CONTRACT.
Salmond describes it as Error in Consensus. If there is no consensus ad idem, there is no
contract.
CASE: Bala Debi Vs S.Majumdar
An illeterate women executed a deed of gift in favor of her nephew under the impression that
she was executing a deed authorizing her nephew to manage her lands. The evidence showed
that the woman never intended to execute such a deed of gift, nor was the deed ever read or
explained to her. Held, the deed was void and inoperative
3. COERCION
When a person is compelled to enter into a contract by the use of force by the other
party or under a threat, “coercion” is said to be employed.
Coercion is the committing, or threatening to commit, any act forbidden by the Indian
Penal Code, 1860 or the unlawful detaining, or threatening to detain, any property, to the
prejudice of any person whatever, with the intention of causing any person to enter into
an agreement.
COERCION INCLUDES:
• Fear
• Physical Compulsion
• Menace to goods
EFFECT OF COERCION:
When consent to an agreement is caused by coercion, fraud or mispresentation, the agreement
is a contract voidable at the option of the party whose consent was so caused (Sec.19)
According to Sec.72, a person to whom money has been paid, or anything delivered by mistake
or under coercion, must repay or return it.
UNDUE INFLUENCE
Sometimes a party is compelled the enter into an agreement against his will as a result of unfair
persuasion by the other party.
This happens when a special kind of relationship exists between the parties such that one party
in a position to exercise undue influence over the other.
“A contract is said to be induced by “undue influence” where the relations subsisting between
the parties are such that one of the parties is in a position to dominate the will of the other and
uses that position to obtain an unfair advantage over the other”
A person is deemed to be in a position to dominate the will of another:
a. Where he holds a real or apparent authority over the other.
E.g.: Relationship between master and servant.
b. Where stands in a fiduciary relation to the other.
E.g.: Father and Son, Solicitor and client, promoter and company
4. c. Where he makes a contract with a person whose mental capacity is temporarily or
permanently affected .
by reason or age, illness or mental or bodily distress.
EFFECT OF UNDUE INFLUENCE:
When consent to an agreement is obtained by undue influence, the agreement is a contract
voidable at the option of the party whose consent was so obtained.
Any such contract may be set aside either absolutely or if the party who is entitled to avoid it has
received any benefit there under, upon such terms and condition to the court may seem just and
equitable.
E.g.: A’s son has forged B’s name to a promissory note. B under threat of prosecuting A’s son
obtains a bond from A for the amount of the forged note. If B sues on this bond, the court may
set the bond aside.
MISREPRESENTATION
Misrepresentation may be:
i. An innocent or unintentional misrepresentation or
ii. An intentional, deliberate or willful misrepresentation with an intent to deceive or defraud
the other party.
The former is misrepresentation and the later is fraud.
WHAT IS MISREPRESENTATION:
It is a false statement which the person making it honestly believes to be true or which he does
not know to be false. It also includes non-disclosure of a material fact or facts without any intent
to deceive the other party.
FRAUD
Fraud exists when it is shown that –
1. A false representation has been made Knowingly or without belief in its truth or
recklessly, not caring whether it is true or false and the maker intended the other party to
act upon it , or
2. There is a concealment of a material fact or that there is a partial statement of a fact in
such a manner that the withholding of what is not stated makes that which is stated
false.
5. ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF FRAUD:
1. There must be a representation or assertion and it must be false.
2. The representation must relate to a material fact which exists now or exists in the past:
3. The representation must have been made before the conclusion of the contract with the
intention of inducing the other party to act upon it.
4. The representation or statement must have been made with a knowledge of its falsity or
without belief in its truth or recklessly, not caring whether it is true or false.
5. The other party must have been induced to act upon the representation or assertion.
6. The other party must have relied upon the representation and must have been
deceived:
7. The other party, acting on the representation or assertion, must have subsequently
suffered some loss.
MISTAKE
It may be defined as an erroneous belief about something.
MISTAKE
Mistake
6. MISTAKE OF LAW
1. Mistake of law of the county:
A mistake of law is, therefore, no excuse, and the contract cannot be avoided.
2. Mistake of law of a foreign country:
Such a mistake is treated as mistake of fact and the agreement in such a case is void.
MISTAKE OF FACTS:
1. Bilateral Mistake:
Where both the parties to an agreement are under a mistake as to a matter of
fact essential to the agreement, there is a bilateral mistake. In such case, the agreement
is void.
CASES WHICH FALL UNDER BILATERAL MISTAKE:
Mistake as to the subject-matter:
Mistake as to the existence of subject-matter
Mistake as to the identity of the subject-matter
Mistake as to the quality of the subject-matter.
Mistake as to the quantity of the subject-matter
Mistake as to the title of the subject matter
Mistake as to the price of the subject matter.
Mistake as to the possibility of subject matter.
Physical Impossibility
Legal Impossibility
2. Unilateral Mistake:
• When in a contract only one of the parties is mistaken regarding the subject-matter or in
expressing or understanding the terms or the legal effect of the agreement, the mistake
is a unilateral mistake.
• According to Sec.22 a Contract is not voidable merely because it was caused by one of
the parties to it being under a mistake as to a matter of fact.
• A unilateral mistake is not allowed as a defense in avoiding a contract unless the
mistake is brought about the other party’s fraud or misrepresentation
