DOCTRINE OF FRUSTRATION UNDER THE INDIAN CONTRACT ACT, 1872

Abstract

In general situation, anger means lost, and this concept has been commonly used in parties' negotiations and contracts. The word dissatisfaction is used to deal with purchases that were incomplete and could not be done for whatever reason. The doctrine of dissatisfaction has arisen in the law of contracts as one of the most common problems that have come to resolve broken contracts. As a general rule, contracting parties agree to play their part and in the event of violation, the infringement of the party is liable to pay for the same. However, Section 56 of the Indian Contract Act 1872 points out an exception to this clause. Section 56 deals with the doctrine of dissatisfaction as actions that are not possible to execute. Under this doctrine, in the case of a violation of contract, a promisor is deprived of all obligation under a contract and may be declared invalid.
