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.
