https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=284016 Section 70 of the Indian Contract Act allows compensation where a void and unenforceable contract has been performed and the other party has received and retained the benefit, so recovery is based on unjust enrichment rather than contractual enforceability. Estoppel by negligence requires a relevant duty to the other party and negligence that is the proximate cause of the misleading result; mere internal mishandling of correspondence or fraudulent use by strangers is insufficient. The discussion therefore distinguishes void contract recovery from contractual enforcement and limits negligence-based estoppel to cases meeting its strict causal and duty requirements. en-us Fri, 05 Apr 1963 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 17:04:19 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=284016 Section 70 of the Indian Contract Act allows compensation where a void and unenforceable contract has been performed and the other party has received and retained the benefit, so recovery is based on unjust enrichment rather than contractual enforceability.
