Gopal Sri Ram JCA “Another approach to the problem in cases that involve synallagmatic contracts is to look at the consequence of the breach of the term in question. If the breach is of such a nature that it goes to the root of the contract, then the term broken is fundamental in nature. On the other hand, if the consequences of the breach complained of are not serious in the sense that they do not go to the root of the contract, then the term in question is a subsidiary one entitling the innocent party to recover damages but not to treat the contract as being at an end.” summarise

Case Rating: *
Summary:
Gopal Sri Ram JCA explained that in synallagmatic contracts, the determination of whether a breach is fundamental depends on the severity of its consequences. A breach that affects the core of the contract is fundamental, allowing the contract to be terminated. If the breach is less serious, it is considered subsidiary, entitling the innocent party to damages but not contract termination.

Gopal Sri Ram JCA “An alternative method of classification of the terms of a contract is according to, not their relative importance, but the consequences of their breach. ..under the alternative method, if the breach of a particular term goes to the root of the contract so as to affect its very substratum, then, the remedy of the innocent party lies in repudiation and damages. However if its breach produces lesser consequences, the remedy of the innocent party lies in damages only.” summarise

Case Rating: *
Summary:
Gopal Sri Ram JCA proposed an alternative method for classifying contract terms based on the consequences of their breach. If a breach goes to the root of the contract, it warrants repudiation and damages. If the breach has lesser consequences, only damages are appropriate.

To decide whether s. *(a) makes a contract illegal and unenforceable in connection with a statute, one must find out first if the statute prohibits or forbids the act which the parties have contracted to do and not whether the statute prohibits the contract or the making of the contract in question. Though very subtle, this difference is real. explain in simpler term

Case Rating: *
Sure! Here's a simpler explanation:
To decide if a contract is illegal under s. *(a), you need to check if the law forbids the actual action that the contract involves, not just whether the law forbids making the contract itself. Even though this difference is subtle, it's important.
Is there anything specific you need help with regarding this?
