In the question the word [B]ANY[/B] is ignored by many aspirants. I am afraid you also ignored the word [B]ANY[/B]. secondly, unfortunately, I could not study the word Invalid for any thing that is void or voidable in my study of law. Might be possible you are right, but chances of it are too grim. |

[B][I][COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]sister i was not in a mood to argue . .. . but your answers are written below ... by the way i am attached with the subject from 7 years in many fields so was telling you on that experience .... chalen kuch nai hota mein b galt ho sakta tha.... because in forum many give their own view[/COLOR][/I][/B] INVALID-- [url]http://www.google.com.pk/#hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=invalid+meaning&oq=invalid+meaning&gs_l=hp.3..0l3j0i22i30l7.985.6523.0.6882.15.15.0.0.0.0.1049.3876.4j4j3j2j0j1j0j1.15.0...0.0...1c.1.7.hp.rH9-rtJTsNE&bav=on.2,or.&bvm=bv.44158598,d.ZWU&fp=83b58670d98b0392&biw=12 80&bih=923[/url] [url]http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/invalid.html[/url] [B][I][COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]given you web addresses because they are best available source to make you sure... and for partners restriction if you have bare act or any other book than cheema and bok is good enough to cover all sections than refer to section [COLOR="blue"]36(2)[/COLOR] which is straightaway copied by the examiner :) stay blessed[/COLOR][/I][/B] |
Do we have to quote the original words of acts and sections in paper or we can write them in our own words?
paper of mercantile law has been in case study form for the past few years, has it been reversed again? |
No case laws questions. Has the trend of case laws questions changed ? Good to see this change -;) I will opt for it in 2014 InshAllah.

sorry for jumping into this issue so late but i couldn't help it
"and for partners restriction if you have bare act or any other book than cheema and bok is good enough to cover all sections than refer to section 36(2) which is straightaway copied by the examiner stay blessed" here is the exact text you were talking about 36.Rights of outgoing partner to carry on competing business.— (1) An outgoing partner may carry on a business competing with that of the firm and he may advertise such business, but, subject to contract to the contrary, he may not - (a) use the firm name, (b) represent himself as carrying on the business of the firm, or (c) solicit the custom of persons who were dealing with the firm before the ceased to be a partner. [B](2) Agreements in restraint of trade - a partner may make an agreement with his partners that on ceasing to be a partner he will not carry on [COLOR="Red"]any business similar to that of the firm[/COLOR] within a specified period or within specified local limits; and, notwithstanding anything contained in[/B] section 27, of the Contract Act 1872, such agreement shall be valid if the restrictions imposed are reasonable. so Sehar Bano is correct on this as the statement is not straightaway copied from the text of the law. restraining from any business would obviously be unreasonable |
