    On the basis of the decision of the Court in the case of

    Balfour v. Balfour which of the following are correct____________
    A Generally, domestic arrangements are outside the domain of the contract Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Parties standing in domestic or social relationship may enter into an enforceable contract if the intention of the parties is to create a legal relationship Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both a & b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In this case it was held that there was only a domestic arrangement between the parties and not a contract because domestic arrangements are outside the realm of the contract. Therefore, a contract cannot be enforceable by nature if the parties to the same do not intend to create legal relations with each other.
