What is misrepresentation in contract law?

Image
Contracts rely heavily on trust. If one party to an agreement engages in fraudulent or deceptive behaviour, there’s a breach of trust. This is called misrepresentation. In the contract law of India , misrepresentation can render a contract voidable and entitle the other party to certain remedies. Let’s simplify this. Understanding Misrepresentation in Contract Law In contract law, misrepresentation is the false statement of facts purported by one party to another before or at the time of making the contract. The false statement causes the second party to enter into the contract. The important part is about the influence.

Visitation Rights of NRI Parents in India

Image
When one parent is an NRI (Non-Resident Indian), it becomes emotionally and legally complicated for them to keep a positive bond with their child. Indian Law states that one of the child’s parent’s rights is to be loved and cared for by both parents, even if one is living abroad. When an Indian attorney is handling cross-border family disputes, he will emphasise that just because one parent is overseas, that will not lessen their right to visitation. Indian law dictates that with respect to visitation, the determining factor is the child’s best interests, not the parents. While the distance may modify the nature of the visits that can be arranged, it does not eliminate the right to access the child.   Legal Basis for Visitation Rights   In India, various personal and statutory laws govern visitation rights, such as:   ●        The Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 ●        The Hindu Minority and Guardia...
