1) Performance of a contract means fulfilling the legal obligations created under the contract by each party. Only parties to the contract can demand performance. If a promisee dies, their legal heirs can enforce performance.
2) A contract must generally be performed by the promisor, but may also be performed by their agent, legal representatives, or a third party if accepted by the promisee. Joint contracts require performance by all joint promisors or their legal representatives.
3) Assignment involves transferring contractual rights and obligations to a third party, sometimes requiring the other party's consent. Novation substitutes a new contract between the original or new parties, discharging the old contract.

2. Performance of Contract

Performance of Contracts:
It means fulfilling of their legal obligations created under the
contract by the promisor and the promisee.
Performance by all the parties of the respective obligations is the
normal and natural mode of discharging or terminating a contract.
W can demand Performance of a Contract?
ho
A person cannot acquire rights under a contract to which he is not a
party.
A third party cannot demand performance of the contract even if it
was made for his benefit.
If the promisee dies, his legal heirs are entitled to enforce the
performance of the contract against the promisor.

By the Promisor or his Agent.
By the Legal representatives.
Performance by a third person.
4. Performance of Contract

Performance by the Promisor himself:
If it appears from the nature of the case that it was the intention of
the parties to any contract that any contract contained in it should be
performed by the promisor himself, such promise must be performed
by the promisor. (Sec, 40)
Contracts involving personal skill, taste or credit fall in this category.
Painting a picture.
By the Promisor or his Agent:
In the case of a contract of impersonal nature, the promisor himself
or his agent may perform the contract. [Sec. 40 (20)]
Contract of sale of goods or contract to lend money.
5. Performance of Contract

By the Legal representatives:
In case of the death of the promisor before performance, the liability
of performance falls on the legal representatives, unless a contrary
intention appears from the contract. [Sec. 37 (2)]
A personal cause of action comes to an end with the death of the
person concerned.
In the case of contracts not involving personal considerations, the
legal representatives are bond to perform the contract.
Painting a picture- not enforceable.
Sale of goods- enforceable.
6. Performance of Contract

Performance by a Third Person:
If a promisee accepts performance of the promise from a third
person, he cannot afterwards enforce it against the promisor. ( Sec.
41 )
Performance by a stranger, once accepted by the promisee,
discharges the promisor.
This is true although the promisor has neither authorized nor ratified
the act of the third party.
Performance of Joint Promises:
Joint promises may take any of the following shapes;
i. Several joint promisors make a promise with a single promisee.
ii. A single promisor makes a promise with several joint promisees.
iii. Several joint promisors make a promise with several joint
promisees.

W can demand performance of Joint Promises?
ho
When a promise is made to several persons jointly, then, unless a
contrary intention appears from the contract, only all the promisees
can claim performance jointly.
If any of the promisees dies, his legal representatives can jointly
demand performance with the surviving promisees.
If all the promisees are dead, their legal representatives can jointly
demand performance of the contract.
So long as all the joint promisees are alive, all of them can jointly
demand performance of the contract and on death of any promisee,
his legal representatives step into his shoes.

By whom Joint Promises must be performed?
(1) All Promisors must jointly fulfill the promise: (Sec. 42)
When two or more persons have made a joint promise, then, unless
a contrary intention appears from he contract, all such persons
must jointly fulfill the promise.
When any of the joint promisors dies, his legal representatives
must, jointly with the surviving promisors fulfill the promise.
On the death of all the original promisors, the legal representatives
of all of them must jointly fulfill the promise.
The above rule is subject to the following:
a) Contracts involving personal skill, come to an end on the death of
any of the joint promisors.
b) Liability of the legal heirs is limited to the assets inherited by them.

Liability of joint promisors is “joint and several”, as against the
promisee.
Any one or more of the joint promisors can be compelled to perform
the whole promise, in the absence of agreement to the contrary.
(3) Right of contribution inter-se between joint promisors. [Sec 43
(2)]
If one of several joint promisors perform the whole contract, he may
require equal contribution from the other joint promisors, unless
contary intention appears from the contract.
(4)Sharing of loss by default in contribution.
(5) Effect of release of one joint promisors. (Sec 44)
If one of the joint promisors is released from his liability by the
promisee, this does not discharge the other joint promisors from

Assignment of Contracts:
Assignment means transfer of contractual rights and liabilities to a
third party, with or without the concurrence of the other party to the
contract.
An assignee can bring an action on his own initiative, against the
other party to the contract.
Contracts involving personal skill cannot be assigned.
The obligations under a contract cannot be assigned except with
the consent of the promisee.
The rights and benefits under a contract are assignable unless the
contract is of personal nature or the rights are incapable of
assignment either under the law or under an agreement between
parties.
Assignment by law takes place in cases of death and insolvency.

Novation:
Novation occurs when a new contract is substituted for an
existing contract, either between the same parties or between
different parties, the consideration mutually being the discharge
of the old contract.
(Sec. 62 )
It thus includes two cases;
1. A new contract between the same parties in place of the old one.
2. A new party is introduced and the old contract is varied by the
liability hereunder being transferred to or being taken over by the
new party.
Novation cannot be compulsory, it can only be with mutual
consent of all parties.
The new contract must be valid and enforceable.
